Osmosis - the net movement of water from a region of high water potential ( ) to low ( ) through a partially permable membrane
High ( ) = a high concentration of water = much more movement = osmosis possible
Low ( ) = low concentration = little movement of water = osmosis likey to be low.
Affecting Water potential ( )
- By dissolving substance in the water
- MORE dissolved susbtances = the lower the water potential becomes ( Na+ , Cl- , Glucose)
