Osmosis

Today am going to write about osmosis. Plenty of of you might not be familiar with the term. So let me give you the definition of osmosis first for your better understanding.
Osmosis is the process of diffusion of water molecules across a semi permeable membrane from a higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

                                                             
Cell membranes are wholly permeable to water, and therefore, the environment the cell is exposed to, can have a dramatic effect on the cell. Some major example of osmosis are : absorption of water by plan roots, reabsorption of water by the proximal and distal convoluted tubules of the nephron, Absorption of water by the alimentary canal — stomach, small intestine and the colon, Reabsorption of tissue liquid in to the venule ends of the blood capillaries.

The potato experiment is the simple way to see the effects of osmosis
