Osmosis

The movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high water potential, to an area of low water potential until water potentials are equal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYNwynwaALo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYNwynwaALo The movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high water potential, to an area of low water potential until water potentials are equal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYNwynwaALo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYNwynwaALo

Fresh water from the tap.

Osmosis A dilute (weak) solution is hypotonic
6
Osmosis A dilute (weak) solution is hypotonic A concentrated (strong) solution is hypertonic A dilute (weak) solution is hypotonic A concentrated (strong) solution is hypertonic
7
Osmosis A dilute (weak) solution is hypotonic A concentrated (strong) solution is hypertonic Two solutions with the same concentration are isotonic. A dilute (weak) solution is hypotonic A concentrated (strong) solution is hypertonic Two solutions with the same concentration are isotonic.

Osmosis A dilute (weak) solution is hypotonic A concentrated (strong) solution is hypertonic Two solutions with the same concentration are isotonic. Diffusion and osmosis mean that particles move in both directions across the membrane, however the net direction is towards the area of lower concentration.

Osmoregulation Is the control of water inside a cell or organism
10
Osmoregulation Is the control of water inside a cell or organism An animal cell: - Shows no change in isotonic solution Is the control of water inside a cell or organism An animal cell: - Shows no change in isotonic solution
11
Osmoregulation Is the control of water inside a cell or organism An animal cell: - Show no change in isotonic solution - Shrivel up in hypertonic solution Is the control of water inside a cell or organism An animal cell: - Show no change in isotonic solution - Shrivel up in hypertonic solution
12
Osmoregulation Is the control of water inside a cell or organism An animal cell: - Show no change in isotonic solution - Shrivel up in hypertonic solution - Expand & burst in hypotonic solutions Is the control of water inside a cell or organism An animal cell: - Show no change in isotonic solution - Shrivel up in hypertonic solution - Expand & burst in hypotonic solutions
13
Osmoregulation in Plant cells Show no change in isotonic solution
14
Osmoregulation in Plant cells Show no change in isotonic solution Become plasmolysed in hypertonic solutions – where water drains from the vacuole and the membrane pulls away from the cell wall = the cells become flaccid and the plant wilts. Show no change in isotonic solution Become plasmolysed in hypertonic solutions – where water drains from the vacuole and the membrane pulls away from the cell wall = the cells become flaccid and the plant wilts.
15
Osmoregulation in Plant cells Show no change in isotonic solution Become plasmolysed in hypertonic solutions – where water drains from the vacuole and the membrane pulls away from the cell wall = the cells become flaccid and the plant wilts. Become firm in hypotonic solution – turgid. The cell wall stops the cell bursting and the plant remains upright.
