Have a little read: ... Investigating the effects of osmosis on a potato Prediction Osmosis is defined as §the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration->. In a high concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sugar) is low. This could be called a weak or dilute solution. In a low concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sucrose) is high. This could be called a strong or concentrated solution. When two such solutions are divided by a semi-permeable membrane the water will move from the area of high concentration to the area of low concentration, until both sides are equal (have reached equilibrium).
