Osmosis Flashcards
1
Q
Hypertonic
A
water moves into the cell
vacuole increases volume
turgor pressure increases
cell becomes turgid - plant cell
cell bursts - animal cell
(haemolysis for red blood cell)
cytoplasm increases volume
2
Q
Isotonic
A
water moves in and out
vacuole stays the same
turgor pressure stays the same
cytoplasm stays the same
3
Q
Hypotonic
A
water moves out of the cell
vacoule decreases volume
turgor pressure decreases
cell becomes flaccid (plasmolysis) - plant cell
cell shrivels up - animal cell
(crenation for red blood cell)
cytoplasm decreases in volume
membrane - ripped away from the cell - plant cells
