osmosis

     

Osmosis is the iffusion of water through a cell wall or membrane or any partially-permeable barrier from a solution of low solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with high solute concentration (low water potential), up a solute concentration gradient. It is a physical process in which a solvent moves, without input of energy, across a semi-permeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations. Osmosis releases energy, and can be made to do work, as when a growing tree-root splits a stone.

Trivia about osmosis

  • Most of a cell's water passes through the plasma membrane by this process
  • (Jimmy of the Clue Crew shows a little veggie before & after.) Put celery in red-colored water, & after 24 hours, the leaves turn red because of this process by which plants absorb fluids, from the Greek for "push" or "thrust"
  • It's the passage of water through a cell membrane; the "reverse" type is a desalination process
  • This process is the diffusion of a fluid through a semipermeable membrane; some students seem to learn by it
  • By this process, water moves through cellular membranes to equalize pressure
  • The transfer of a fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a membrane
