Water moving out of a cell, causing shrinking, due to a lower water concentration inside of the cell.

2
New cards

Hypotonic

Water moves into the cell, causing swelling. The solution has a higher water concentration inside the cell.

3
New cards

total water potential

\psi=\psi s+\psi p

4
New cards

Water potential of a solution

\psi s=-icrt

5
New cards

Plasmolysis

The cell membrane pull away from the cell wall, due to water loss in a hypertonic solution

6
New cards

Turgid

A cell is swollen and firm due to being full with water
