Question

How does osmosis occur. Explain.

Answer 1

Osmosis occurs when you have membrane with unequal concentrations of water molecules on either side. Water molecules will diffuse across the membrane until equilibrium is reached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Osmosis is the movement of water from areas of high concentrations to lower concentrations across a semi permeable membrane. It occurs over these membranes in cells of the body alllowing water to move into and out of them. Due to this nature the cell membrane is described as being partially (or selectively) permeable. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion involving water molecules. It occurs when two solutions are separated by a partially permeable membrane.
