What is a "semi-permeable membrane"?
(N/A) Continuous sheets or films (natural or synthetic) which contain a network of sub-microscopic holes or pores through which small solvent molecules like water can pass,but the passage of bigger molecules of solute is hindered,are known as semi-permeable membranes.
Diffusion taking place through this membrane is called Osmosis.
