A selectively permeable membrane allows water molecules to pass through but restricts the movement of larger solute particles like NaCl. In osmosis, water will move from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through the membrane, causing a net movement of water without the movement of NaCl.
Movement of water across the cell membrane
The movement of water molecules without the use of energy is called passive transport. This is a process where water molecules move across a cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, known as osmosis. In this way, water can move freely through a cell membrane without the need for energy input.
Movement of water across the cell membrane
The movement of water across a membrane is termed osmosis. This process involves the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. Osmosis plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of water and solutes within living organisms.
Passive transport of water by diffusion is the movement of water molecules across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, without the use of energy. This process occurs through specialized channels called aquaporins, which allow water to move freely across the cell membrane.
There would be no net movement of water across the membrane because the amount of solute inside and outside of the membrane is equal.

Osmosis
Movement of water across a membrane is called OSMOSIS.
The movement of water across the plasma membrane is called osmosis. It occurs in response to concentration differences of solutes on either side of the membrane.
Osmosis involves a membrane. It is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Diffusion, on the other hand, is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, and it can occur with or without a membrane.
