What is water potential in cytoplasm

It is negative

2
New cards

Whats a hypertonic solution in animals

Water potential is lower outside the cell, SO water moves out of the cell

Causes cell to shrivel (crenation)

New cards

Whats isotonic solution in plants

Water potential inside and outside of the cell is equal, so no net movement of water

Its at equilibrium

<p>Water potential inside and outside of the cell is equal, so no net movement of water</p><p>Its at equilibrium</p>
4
New cards

Whats hypotonic solution

Water potential is higher outside the cell, so water moves into cell

This causes the cell to burst (lysis)

New cards

What is hypertonic solution in plants

Water potential is lower outside the cell

So water moves out of the cells

Cell becomes plasmolysed , cytoplasm pulls away from the cell wall

New cards

What is hypotonic solution in plants

Water potential is higher outside the cell , so water moves into the cell

The cell is turgid.
