Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher water potential to a lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane, down the concentration gradient.
La ósmosis es el movimiento de moléculas de agua de un potencial hídrico más alto a uno más bajo a través de una membrana parcialmente permeable, siguiendo el gradiente de concentración.
