Osmosis

Real World Example

Imagine trying to balance the concentration of sugar in your coffee by adding more water to even out the sweetness. This is similar to how osmosis works, where water moves through a semipermeable membrane to balance concentrations on both sides. Just as water dilutes the sugar concentration in your coffee, in osmosis, water flows through the membrane to equalize the concentration of solutes, like salt or sugar, inside and outside a cell.
