Question

Osmosis involves which of the following processes

Answer 1

Movement of water from it higher potential to its lower potential.

Answer 2

Osmosis is the chemical process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is the chemical process, where the solution moves from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis may be slow or reversed, where the movement of solution is occured against the concentration gradient, from lower to higher concentration. Osmosis is similar to diffusion. Diffusion follows the same process as in osmosis without semipermeable membrane.

There are three types of osmotic solution:

Isotonic = Water moves in and out of the cell at an equal rate.

Hypotonic = Water moves into the, making it swell.

Hypertonic = Water moves out from the cell, like a raisin.
