Answer:

Movement of a solvent (such as water) through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane.

Osmosis, the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane (one that blocks the passage of dissolved substances—i.e., solutes).

  • Osmosis is the movement of water through a cell membrane.

  • The pressure that moves water in and out of cells is called water potential.

  • Water moves from a region with a high water potential to a region with a lower water potential.

  • Pure water has a high water potential and so water is very likely to move into cells if they have water around them.

  • Solutes lower water potential and so cells have a lower water potential than pure water.

  • Plant cells take in water by osmosis until the cell wall pushes back on the cell's contents with the same pressure
