Do you know about the process of osmosis? Then, you must take this osmosis quiz to check your knowledge regarding the same. Osmosis involves transferring water from a less concentrated solution to a more robust solution through a semipermeable membrane. Most people confuse it with diffusion, which does not involve movement through a membrane. See how much you understood osmosis in the class by playing the quiz below. Are you ready then? Good luck, buddy!
