present in the solution is the salt concentration and the water present in it is the water concentration. the
movement of substances from the region of higher concentration to the lower concentration is called diffu
sion.. The movement of water molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration across a semip
ermeable membrane is called osmosis.. osmosis plays an essential role in living organisms, for instance, t
he absorption of water in plants by roots and absorption of food in fresh water. In freshwater unicellular or
ganisms like the amoeba happens due to ososis..
