The Process of Osmosis and its Importance to Living Organisms. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane that does not allow dissolved solids (solutes) to pass. Osmosis refers only to diffusion of water and the direction of movement is from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration. This migration of water from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration is spontaneous and although water molecules move in both directions

Are GMO’s the Future of Food? To some‚ “Genetically Modified” is synonymous with “dangerous” and “unnatural” to others Genetically Modified Organisms can mean the difference between eating or starving‚ and can mean saving thousands of dollars in crop losses. GMO’s can help farmers grow more food on less land and can help farmers in the developing world grow a sustenance crop to support and feed their families. Those who view GMO’s as a danger to themselves and their children usually don’t fully
