Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential across a partially permeable membrane.
A osmose é o movimento líquido de moléculas de água de uma área de maior potencial hídrico para uma área de menor potencial hídrico através de uma membrana semipermeável.
