    Study Notes

    Osmosis

    • Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane.
    • The direction of water diffusion in osmosis is from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
    • Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the solute concentration: an increase in solute concentration leads to an increase in osmotic pressure.
    • A selectively permeable membrane in osmosis allows water molecules to pass through while restricting the movement of solutes, enabling the process of osmosis to occur.
