Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is a passive process and happens without any expenditure of energy. It involves the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration until the concentrations become equal on either side of the membrane. Any solvent can undergo the process of osmosis including gases and supercritical liquids.
