A
Osmosis is the Diffusion of water against a partially permeable membrane
2
Q
how does Osmosis occurs
A
the water moves from a region of high water concentrations a region of lower water concentration
3
Q
What is isotonic

4
Q

5
Q
What is hypotonic
A
The solution that is more dilute
6
Q
When does turgor pressure occur
A

7
