Osmosis


I’ve learned that osmosis is also one of the four kinds of passive transport, which are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration, and osmosis itself. It is like a counterpart of diffusion. If diffusion is from a higher concentration to a lower concentration, osmosis is the travel from lower concentration of a solute to a higher concentration of solute. The only thing is, in osmosis, water is always present.

I can explain it to others best by the use of illustrations. I’ll illustrate to them osmosis, the travel from a lower concentration of a solute to a higher concentration of solute.


Sir Manalo managed to explain to us osmosis. Because we were kind of confused at first, but we understand it later on.
