It's called osmosis. The water will travel across the membrane to equal out concentrations so they are both the same. This is because water is a small molecule, able to move through the membrane.
Think of it this way. If there were no membrane then the dissolved substance would diffuse throughout the mixture. If you put a membrane there then the same idea works but this time it is only the water that can move. So the water moves through the membrane until the same concentration of water molecules appear on each side.

Water passes through a cell membrane by?
What_is_the_passage_of_water_through_cell_membranes_calledPassage of water through cell membranes occurs through osmosis.
What is the channel in the nuclear membrane through which the RNA passes?
The nuclear PORE membrane
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of what?
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of osmosis. In osmosis fluid passes both in and out of the semipermeable membrane in osmosis, but usually there's a net flow in one direction.
What controls what passes in and out of cells?
Through something called "Selective permeability"
What is a osmosis?
osmosis is a movement of a fluid that passes through a semipermable membrane
What is a type of diffusion in which water passes through a cell membrane?
Osmosis
Water passes through a cell membrane by?
What_is_the_passage_of_water_through_cell_membranes_calledPassage of water through cell membranes occurs through osmosis.
During osmosis what passes through a cell membrane?
Water, from high to low concentration.
Water passes quickly through cell membranes because?
The cell membrane has two phospholipids, with hydrophilic (water-loving) heads facing the outside while the hydrophobic tails point in. Water cannot pass through because of this characteristic. The hydrophilic "heads" attract water since they are polar, but the hydrophobic "tails" are non polar and reject water. H20 passes by means of a channel protein.
What is it called when Water passes through the cell membrane from a high concentrated area to a less concentrated area?
Osmosis
What is the channel in the nuclear membrane through which the RNA passes?
The nuclear PORE membrane
What passes through a cells membrane?
stuff liek water and such that the cell needs to survive. the membrane is selective about what it allows in and out. bad stuff hardly ever makes it in.
What is the substances that passes through a cell?
cell membrane
What kind of water treatment is reverse osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis is a process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to purify water. Large impurities remain stuck to the membrane while the pure water passes through.
Water spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of what?

Can Hydrogen peroxide pass through a cell membrane?
yes, H2O2 passes through cell membrane through passive transport.
How does osmosis explain the movement of water across cell membranes?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a solution of high concentration to a solution of lower concentration through a membrane. Water passes through the membrane, diluting the solution of higher concentration on the other side, until both solutions on either side of the membrane have equal concentrations.
