Osmosis can be defined by many example one is when slices of the potato are mixed with a high concentration of salt solution we can see the potatoes are shrink because the water from potato moves to the salt solution.

Osmosis may occur when there is a partially-permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. When a cell is submerged in water, the water molecules pass through the cell membrane from an area of low solute concentration (outside the cell) to one of high solute concentration (inside the cell), this is called osmosis. The cell membrane is selectively permeable, so only necessary materials are let into the cell and waste left out.

Plant cell under different environments Osmotic pressure is the main cause of support in many plants. The osmotic entry of water raises the turgor pressure exerted against the cell wall, until it equals the osmotic pressure, creating a steady state.
