How do phospholipids interact with water molecules?     Phospholipids do not interact with water because water is polar and lipids are nonpolar.     The polar heads interact with water; the nonpolar tails do not.     The polar heads avoid water; the nonpolar tails attract water (because water is polar and opposites attract).     Phospholipids dissolve in water.

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
