Osmosis Review
1. Hypertonic solutions Plant cells the central vacuole loses water and the cells shrink causing wilting. Animal cells shrink (plasmolysis)
2. Hypotonic Solution Plant cells CV fills with water, plant becomes stiff and rigid, CW keeps the plant from bursting Animal cells swell, may burst (“LYSIS”)
3. Isotonic solutions Plant cells Equilibrium Animal cells - water moves back and forth – no change – GOOD!!!

How do animal cells react differently?
