osmosis
Definition: Osmosis is defined as the flow of water or a solvent molecules from a region of dilute it a weaker solution to a region of concentrated or stronger solution through a selectively or differentially permeable membrane. it should be noted that Osmosis is a special form of diffusion. CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR OSMOSIS TO TAKE PLACE There are many condition which are necessary for Osmosis to take place I.presence of a stronger solution, e.g.sugar or salt solution ii. presence of a weaker solution,e. g. distilled water iii.presence of a selectively or differentially permeable membrane. living cell as osmometer In Osmosis,there are usually two solutions which are separated by a differentially permeable membrane.The weaker solution is said to be hypotonic while the stronger solution is said to be hypertonic. When both have the same concentration, they are said to be isotonic. i. Hypotonic solution: When a cellbof slicing plant or animal is surrounded by pure water or solution whose solute concentration is lower, water passes into the cells by osmosis.The solution is there fore said to be hypotonic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 102.91.5.233 (talk) 03:25, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
