No; osmosis is a mechanism whereby something may be absorbed into something else by diffing across a membrane.
I believe the word you are looking for is homeostasis.

What is the effect of osmosis on cell?
Osmosis is the process whereby water or H2o is transmitted throughout the cell membrane and thus hydrated. The cell absorbs fluids via the process termed osmosis.
Osmosis is important to cells because?
cells are filled with fluids that are made mostly of water
What is the process controlled by sodium potassium and chlorine whereby fluids flow in and out of cells through the cell walls?
osmosis
What is the maintenance of a dynamic balance of substances in body fluids?
homeostasis
What is difference between osmoconformer and osmoregulator?
Osmoregulator have to use energy to gain or loss water, because their body fluids are different from their environment.(osmoregulation is the process an organism uses to balance the fluids/water)Osmoconformer, on the other hand is, are organisms that have body fluids that are the same as its environment.(They don't gain or loss water during osmosis. Therefor they don't have to worry about using energy to combine ammonia with carbon dioxide ---because they excrete ammonia)
What is the difference between osmosis and reverse osmosis?
Osmosis is the tendency of fluids to pass through a membrane with equal concentrations on both sides. Reverse osmosis is forcing fluids through a membrane with a lower concentration on one side than the other.
How fluids move across capillary membranes?
Osmosis.
How are Excess calcium and potassium are moved between interstitial fluids and blood?
Osmosis
What is the effect of osmosis on cell?
Osmosis is the process whereby water or H2o is transmitted throughout the cell membrane and thus hydrated. The cell absorbs fluids via the process termed osmosis.
Does Sodium and potassium help balance fluids?
They help balance the pH levels of fluids in your body, if that is what you mean. Potassium especially, I think.
What materials does osmosis transport?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from where it(water) is in higher concentration to where it(water) is in lower concentration.
Osmosis is important to cells because?
cells are filled with fluids that are made mostly of water
What is the tendency of fluids to move through a membrane?
Osmosis for water and diffusion just in general
Explain how the kidneys remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance.?
can you explain how the kidneys remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance?
How does a kidney remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance?
can you explain how the kidneys remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance?
Why do slugs die when you put salt on them osmosis?
The salt leaches the fluids out of the slug, due to osmosis. The slug then dies of dehydration.
What drives exchange of fluids between tissues and the blood?
concentration gradients, osmosis, and hydrostatic pressure
