👉 Endosmosis is a type of transport process in which water moves from an area with lower pressure to an area with higher pressure. This movement is facilitated by the action of gravity, but it also involves the presence of a net external force acting on the body, such as a hydrostatic pressure gradient. Endosmotic permeability refers to the ability of cells and other cell structures in the body to transport water across their boundaries, which is crucial for maintaining fluid balance and homeostasis.
