Summary Introduction

To review:

The mechanismthrough which cells maintain their osmotic balance after the conversion of glycogen into glucose, during stressful conditions.

Introduction:

Osmosis is a spontaneous processduring which the solvent molecules are passed through a semi-permeable membrane. It is known as a semi-permeable membrane because it is present between a solution of high and low concentrations. Pores in the membrane allow only the solvent particle to move through and donot allow the movement of the larger solute particles.
