Osmosis was first discovered by Jean Antoine Nollet in 1748. Osmosis plays an important role in biological and chemical science. Everyone can see the example of osmosis in normal life just like when you deep sponge into the water so water goes into the sponge and makes the sponge expand reason is osmosis.

Osmosis comes from the words within and push.
