Osmosis

The movement of water molecules from region of

their higher concentration to a region of their lower
concentration through a semi-permeable
membrane.
The water potential of a solution is a measure of
the tendency of water molecules to leave the
solution.
A dilute solution has a higher water potential than
a concentrated solution.
Therefore, water molecules flow from the dilute
solution to the concentrated solution.
How osmosis helps in the uptake of
water in plants?
