Osmosis Transport of water from a high water potential to a low water potential through a partially permeable membrane
Partially permeable membrane
Explain why and how the water molecules move: ……………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………
Osmosis in plant cells
A: water absorbed, vacuole expanded, cell wall stretched, cell fully turgid B: water lost, vacuole smaller, cell wall less stretched, cell lost turgidity (from turgid to incipient plasmolysis, flaccid) C: extreme water loss, vacuole disappears, cell wall not streched, cytoplasm moves away from cell wall, plasmolysis
Osmosis in plant cells Explain: Fully turgid: ………………………………………………………………………. Explain: Incipient plasmolysis, flaccid: ………………………………………………………………………. Explain: Plasmolysis: ……………………………………………………………………….
Osmosis in animal cells
Osmotic pressure Hypotonic: outside higher water potential than inside Isotonic: outside wayter potential equal to inside Hypertonic: outside lower water potential than inside
Osmotic pressure Explain: Hypertonic: …………………………………………………………………….. Explain: Hypotonic: …………………………………………………………………….. Explain: Isotonic: ……………………………………………………………………..
