Water moves; the membrane blocks most solutes.\n\nMY EXPLANATION (written without looking)\n\"Osmosis is when stuff spreads out from where there's a lot of it to where there's only a little, like perfume spreading across a room. It keeps going until it's even everywhere. It happens in cells all the time.\"\n\nQuiz is Monday.
