osmosis

Osmosis is the movement of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one to cause equilibrium.

Did you know? Pruned fingers after sitting in a bathtub are an example of osmosis: your fingers are not shrinking, they are swelling because the water is trying to get into your body to cause equilibrium.
