When a bacterial cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, the cell wall restrains pressure resulting from the greater osmolarity of the cytoplasm. the (Use one word in the blank space. Spelling must be correct to earn the point. The word "osmotic" is NOT an answer that that will earn credit for this question; there is another word that is required.)

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
