Answer:

Osmosis is the scientific process of transferring fluid between molecules. When molecules move in and out of a cell to achieve the same concentration of something, like salt, on both sides, then osmosis is happening. ... The fluid might go back and forth a few times until both solutions are equally concentrated.
