From high to low water potential,
water moves passively.
Through a membrane that's permeable
but only selectively.
What is this water potential thing? Think...
Concentrated or dilute?
The higher the potential the more dilute solution
cos it's got far less solute.
From high to low water potential,
water moves passively.
Through a membrane that's permeable
but only selectively.
Hypotonic,
not hypertonic.
It's a solution that makes the cell swell.
The water moves inside,
the cell wall keeps it firm,
in the case of a plant cell.
From high to low water potential,
water moves passively.
Through a membrane that's permeable
but only selectively.
But animal cells,
they're not the same as plants
with water uptake.
A cell will take in water
but if it takes too much,
it'll make the membrane break.
