Osmosis is the diffusion of a liquid solvent through a semi-permeable membrane when a solution is separated from a pure solvent by such a membrane, which allows the solvent to pass through, but does not allow the passage of the solid solute.
The French botanist Henri Dutrochet discovered the phenomenon of osmosis while studying plant cells.
This phenomenon has been observed in biological systems, both animal and plant cells, and is also used in water purification and desalination, waste material treatment and various other industrial processes.

There was a hidden synergy within all living things, which exceeded the sum of their material parts.
When René Joachim Henri Dutrochet (1776-1847) discovered endosmosis, he explained this phenomenon not, as we might expect, in terms of physical forces, but as due to a ‘vital physico-organic’ force
The pioneering clinical chemist, Henry Bence Jones (1813-73) believed that the vital force played a minor role in living processes and that most, if not all, living processes would eventually be understood in terms of chemical and physical laws
