Abstract
Most cell membranes are highly permeable to water. Movement of water across the cell membranes is driven by an osmotic and hydrostatic pressure gradient. Animal cells are not able to withstand significant hydrostatic pressure gradients. Thus, any osmotic gradient across the cell membrane will lead to the respective movements of water and alterations of cell volume.
