- OSMOSIS
- osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
- A partially permeable membrane is just one with very small holes in it.
- The water molecules actually pass both ways through the membrane during osmosis.
- The tissue fluid will usually have a different concentration to the fluid inside a cell.
