The net movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration
Water concentration
The amount of water as compared to the other molecules like sugars or salts that are dissolved in that water
Solutes are the dissolving molecules in water
Higher solute concentration
Lower water concentration
Lower solute concentration
Higher water concentration
Osmosis in cells
Water particles diffuse from the outside of the cell (higher water concentration) down the concentration gradient into the cell (lower water concentration)
