Osmosis is simple: water passes through a membrane from less solute to more solute. It's how plants get water from soil.
Think of osmosis as water's grand adventure! Water moves from where it's plentiful (low solute concentration) to where it's needed (high solute concentration) through a semi-permeable membrane. No energy required!
Used to study osmosis in lab. Water always moves to balance solute concentration. It's key for cells' hydration!
