Osmosis and Water Potential (Updated)

The video explores the concept of osmosis, explaining how water moves through semi-permeable membranes from areas of low solute concentration to high solute concentration. It discusses the impact of salt on plants, the role of osmosis in real-life scenarios like IV fluids and aquariums, and how osmosis affects plant cells. The video also introduces terms like hypertonic and hypotonic and explains water potential in plant cells.
