OSMOSIS

.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water resulting in a movement of water molecules from a

region of high water concentration (dilute sugar solution) to a region of low water

concentration (concentrated sugar solution) through a partially permeable membrane until in equilibrium. It does not require

energy.
