Question

Osmosis is the movement of? ​

Answer 1

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher water potential to a lower water potential across a partially permeable membrane.

Please note two things:

• Higher water potential = High amount of water= low concentration of solute
• Lower water potential = Low amount of water = High amount of solute.

Now, If you want the definition in terms of solute concentration, it should be:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a Low concentration to a high concentration across a partially permeable membrane.

Also, Note that no energy is required for this process.
