1) Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Reverse osmosis refers to the flow of water against the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to energy gained from the surroundings or an increase in pressure.
