Who founded osmosis?

No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.


What is your conclusion to osmosis?

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.


What is the difference between osmosis and reverse osmosis?

Osmosis is the tendency of fluids to pass through a membrane with equal concentrations on both sides. Reverse osmosis is forcing fluids through a membrane with a lower concentration on one side than the other.


How are osmosis and diffusion related?

Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.


Who invened osmosis?

if you mean 'invented', no one invented it, it occurs naturally. it was naturally

What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?

This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
