Biology Osmosis Question A level

Water moves from a high potential to a low potential.

Doesn't really help, considering I have been given two types of potential.

Wouldn't they just be opposites? Osmotic and water potential I mean. One would be the tendency of water to move from it and the other would be the tendency of water to move towards it


P.S.

Sorry for the horrible grammar.

Yeah I don't really understand it...

Osmotic potential refers to the movement of water from hypotonic (less solutes) to hypertonic (more solutes) solutions. So if something has a high osmotic potential, it would basically take water in. On the other hand, something with high water potential will have it's water move to another area.




P.S.

Sorry for the horrible grammar.

So your'e saying it would move from A to B?
