What is the only substance that osmosis deals with?

Asked by MieshaKeaffaber

Answer (2)

Osmosis generally deals with water. Osmosis is the process of water movement from areas of higher water potential to lower potential. This process equalizes the concentration of water in a certain area or container. Additionally osmosis can relate to the process when water moves across a semi-permeable membrane.

Osmosis specifically deals with water movement through a semi-permeable membrane. It occurs from areas of higher water concentration to areas of lower water concentration to equalize concentrations. This process is vital for the proper functioning of cells and overall balance in biological systems.
