Introduction to Diffusion and Osmosis: Osmosis

This image shows osmosis which is the net movement of water molecules from an area of a lower solute concentration to an area of a higher solute concentration, through a selectively permeable membrane. To learn more about this, see the Introduction to Diffusion and Osmosis interactive scrollable.
