It exerts pressure on the side with a higher concentration of water.
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
Diffusion without a concentration gradient; osmosis with.
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
The process in which water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis occurs when water molecules move from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration to balance out solute concentrations on either side of the membrane.
When water moves across a cell membrane, it is called osmosis. Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane.
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
A selectively permeable membrane is required for osmosis. This membrane allows the passage of water molecules but restricts the movement of solute particles based on their size and charge.
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing some molecules to pass through by osmosis

The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules 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.

1) Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Reverse osmosis refers to the flow of water against the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to energy gained from the surroundings or an increase in pressure.
D. Selectively permeable membrane allows exchange through it. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
