Osmosis is a vital process in biological systems, as biological membranes are semipermeable. In general, these membranes are impermeable to large and polarmolecules, such as ions, proteins, and polysaccharides, while being permeable to non-polar or hydrophobic molecules like lipidsas well as to small molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and nitric oxide. Permeability depends on solubility, charge, or chemistry, as well as solute size. Water molecules travel through the plasma membrane, tonoplast membrane (vacuole) or protoplast by diffusing across the phospholipid bilayer via aquaporins (small transmembrane proteins similar to those responsible for facilitated diffusion and ion channels). Osmosis provides the primary means by which water is transported into and out of cells. The turgor pressure of a cell is largely maintained by osmosis across the cell membrane between the cell interior and its relatively hypotonic environment
UR ANSWER
osmosis is the movement of solvent molecule through selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration. it occurs when two solutions are separated by semi permeable membrane...it is movement of solvents in higher conc.of solvent to lower conc.of solvent through a semi permeable membrane.........................
it's the most easy nd enough definition of osmosis
HOPE THIS HELPS U
