Osmosis occurs through water channel proteins called aquaporins.

Osmosis is a natural phenomenon where molecules move from a lower concentration to a region with higher concentration. This occurs through water channel proteins called Aquaporins. This natural phenomenon can occur in cells which can cause shrinking or bursting.

Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from high to low concentration, facilitated by aquaporins. This process is crucial for maintaining cell health and function. Understanding osmosis helps explain cellular behavior in different solutions, such as hypertonic and hypotonic environments.
