0 the process of a liquid gradually passing through a membrane -- osmóza

Nevertheless, these are minor points in a text which this reviewer found rewarding to read and, almost by osmosis, felt was absorbing the insight and feelings behind the words.
If it travels by the apoplast pathway, or via plasmodesmata between cells, then osmosis is not involved.
Now there is a water potential gradient between the outside and the inside of the cell, so water moves in by osmosis.
Her implication is that she learned her morals, essentially, by osmosis.
In such a solution water will leave the cell by osmosis.
A decrease in water potential is needed before water can enter the cells by osmosis.
Now, learning by osmosis was combined with formal learning.
Therefore, water follows the sucrose into the sieve element, moving down a water potential gradient by osmosis.
