The movement of water molecules through a selectively permable membrane from a reason of high water concertration to low water concertration is called osmosis

The movement of water molecules from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration, across a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

For example -

  • If you put a carrot in salty water, the salt water will pull out the water from inside the carrot (which is mostly made up of water). Within a few hours, the carrot will be limp, its cells shriveled.
  • Humans suffering from cholera are also affected by osmosis. The bacteria that overpopulate the intestines reverse the flow of absorption and do not allow water to be absorbed by the intestines, which results in dehydration.

  • When the fingers are placed in water for a longer period of time, they become pruney due to the flow of water inside the cells.
