osmosis means the movement of water from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient, through a SEMI-permable membrane,

osmosis is 'complete' whene both sides are in they state of equalibrium this means when the water molecules are evenly spread out.

e.g. a potato clyinder in a water beaker, the water particles in the potato is greater than in the beaker of water, and so as the definition says '...from a high to low concentration...' the water molecules transferr from the potato to the beaker of water.

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

The process of water passing through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.

Is ATP needed for osmosis?

No, ATP is not needed for osmosis. Osmosis is a passive process that occurs due to the concentration gradient of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane. ATP is required for active transport processes, not osmosis.
