It uses osmosis (diffusion for water) so the water just travels naturally. If you want more information, use these terms in Google, hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic, diffusion, osmosis

Osmosis.


Why does water have to pass through a transport protein?

The lipid bilayer in the cell cell membranes is essentially impermeable (or have a low permeability) to water and is necessary for cells to maintain their homeostasis. The water transport proteins and other transmembrane proteins are necessary for water to cross the cell membrane.

Can water enter a cell by active transport?

There are two ways that the molecules (i.e: water) move through the membrane: passive transport and active transport. Active transport requires that the cell use energy that it has obtained from food to move the molecules (or larger particles) through the cell membrane. Passive transport does not require such an energy expenditure, and occurs spontaneously.
