What happens in osmosis

Osmosis is a special case of diffusion. Water, like other substances, moves from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. ... In this example, the solute cannot diffuse through the membrane, but the water can. Water has a concentration gradient in this system.!!!!...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Osmosis is the passive diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration through a partially permeable membrane.
