OSMOSIS
When
a substance is dissolved in
water, the concentration of water
molecules in the solution is less than
that in pure water, since the addition
of solute to water results in a solution
that occupies a greater volume than
does the water alone.

OSMOSIS
This
processthe diffusion of
solvent molecules into a region in
which there is a higher concentration
of a solute to which the membrane
is impermeableis called osmosis.
It is an important factor in
physiologic processes.

The body maintains a balance of water
intake and output by a series of
negative feedback loop involving the
