Question

How does osmosis work?

Answer 1

Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis refers to the transport of water into or out of cells. Osmosis can occur directly through the membrane of the cell, or through transport proteins called aquaporin.

Here is a video which describes how osmosis impacts onion cells placed into tap water and then into a salt water solution.
