concentration gradient
Water is the main substance that passes through the cell membrane by the process of osmosis. This movement occurs from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, in order to balance the solute concentrations on either side of the membrane. Osmosis helps maintain the cell's internal environment and regulates the movement of water into and out of the cell.
Water moves through osmosis from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. This process helps maintain balance in solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
The diffusion of substances across a membrane is driven by the concentration gradient, which is the difference in concentration of a substance on either side of the membrane. Substances naturally move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration in order to reach equilibrium.
An impermeable solute is a substance that cannot pass through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. This means that the solute is unable to diffuse or move across the membrane and remains on one side of the membrane.
Osmosis is a physical process in which a solvent moves, without input of energy, across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent , but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations. Osmosis releases energy, and can be made to do work, as when a growing tree root splits a stone.

The term that describes the difference in concentrations of a substance across a cell's membrane is called a concentration gradient. It refers to the variation in the concentration of molecules or ions between two regions, leading to the movement of substances down their concentration gradient through processes like diffusion or active transport.
