To make new cells
No, osmosis happens anywhere there is a semipermeable membrane.
osmosis is a form of diffusion. in regard to water, the diffusion type would be osmosis
enzyme function, diffusion, osmosis, homeostasis
Diffusion and Osmosis.... I think. It would be better to double check ;)
Large organisms need transport systems to supply all their cells with food, oxygen and other materials.Multi-cellular organisms are too big and not all of their cells have contact with the external environment. All organisms need to exchange substances with their environment - take in needed molecules and get rid of waste. A uni-cellular organism can use the processes of osmosis, diffusion and active transport to transport substances in and out of the organism, which is in this case just one cell. But as organisms increase in size, they need a specialized transport system to exchange substances between the internal environment and the external environment. Interestingly enough, osmosis and diffusion are still the important mechanisms at the cellular level.
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.

It is a process that diffuses water
Osmosis takes place right down to the cellular level. It takes place in cells

No, it isn't. Osmosis is on a cellular level, like water moving through the membrane of a cell. However, it is a good metaphor to explain osmosis.
