Osmosis occurs when a semipermeable membrane separates two solutions of different solute concentrations. Water will diffuse from the lower concentration side to the higher concentration side to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane. Only substances small enough to pass through the membrane pores will diffuse through. This process maintains ion and substance levels needed by living cells despite passive concentration changes.
