Define the term Water Potential

Water molecules posses’ kinetic energy, which means that in liquid or gaseous form thy move about rapidly and randomly from one place to another So greater the concentration of the water molecules in a system the greater in the total kinetic energy of water molecules. This is called water potential.

Water always moves from an area of higher potential to an area of lower water potential. The relationship between the concentration of solute and water potential. The relationship between the concentration of solute and water potential is inverse i.e. where there is a lot of solute the water potential is low.
