The passive movement of water from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane
Water potential symbol - measured in kPa
Water molecules move randomly inside the cell and hit the plasma membrane which genrates water potential
Dilute -> concentrated = high -> low water potential
Hypertonic:
More concentrated than the cell, low water potential
Hypotonic:
Less concentrated…
