Osmosis is the movement of water from high to low concentration through a partially permeable membrane, crucial for the survival of plants and animals. It plays a significant role in medicine, particularly in ensuring intravenous fluids are at the correct concentration to prevent cell damage. Factors such as concentration gradient, temperature, pressure, and membrane surface area affect the rate of osmosis, which is essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis.
