Osmosis

(From Greek osmos - pressure, push) - the ensemble of physico-chemical processes leading to thermodynamic equilibrium and the equalization of solution concentrations on both sides of a membrane. It is ensured by the slow transfer of low-molecular-weight dissolved substances (in the form of ions) and solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane in the direction opposite to the concentration …

It is ensured by the slow transfer of low-molecular-weight dissolved substances (in the form of ions) and solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane in the direction opposite to the concentration gradient of these substances.
