This is a point where the concentrations of water inside and outside the potato cells are equal. Water gets into or out of various cells by Osmosis. (Hypothesis) Osmosis is the net movement of water or any other solutions molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall, which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through.
