I do think that the only universal solvent is WATER
The process is called osmosis i think
the process is called osmosis.
Water moves in and out of the cell through the cell membrane by the process of osmosis when there is a concentration gradient.
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
Osmosis
Solvent
Osmosis is a physical process in which a solvent moves, without input of energy, across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent , but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations. Osmosis releases energy, and can be made to do work, as when a growing tree root splits a stone.
The solvent, water.
Osmosis is when a solvent moves from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Facilitated diffusion is when a solvent moves down the concentration gradient through carrier molecules.
water
Water moves by the process of osmosis in and out of cells.
Water moves across the cell membrane through the process of osmosis.
Its not really by a process of osmosis. It is more by active transport. And the different concetration gradient in the soil and in the roots.
Diffusion ,osmosis
Osmosis
The water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across the semi permiable membrane using osmosis.
Switch the word "solvent" to "water" and you have the best definition possible.
