What is osmosis

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane.

What has the highest possible water potential

pure water, its water potential is 0 kPa, its because it has highest possible concentration of water molecules.

<p>What is water potential</p>

What is water potential

The pressure exertted by water molecules as they collide with a membrane / container

All solutions have negative water potentials, pure water has water potential of 0kPa
