Surface Tension

The attraction that the molecules at the surface of a liquid may have for one another.

Osmosis

The net movement of water (the principal solvent in biological systems) by diffusion through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher concentration of water (a hypotonic solution) to a region of lower concentration of water (a hypertonic solution).
