lower solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration, until the concentrations of both solutions are equal on both sides of the membrane. This is known as "equilibrium." The movement of water across the membrane is driven by the difference in osmotic pressure between the two solutions. In biological systems, this process is important for maintaining proper cell hydration and facilitating the transport of nutrients and waste products across cell membranes.
