The Effects of Osmosis on Animal and Plant Cells":

Question 1

What happens to animal cells during osmosis?

Answer 1

= when water moves in pressure inside of cells increases- hydrostatic pressure
= cell membrane is not strong enough to withstand a high hydrostatic pressure
= may burst
= when water leavres the cell the cell will shrink

Question 2

What happens to plant cells during osmosis?

Answer 2

= when water moves in the hydrostatic pressure increases
= but the cell wall is able to resists an outwards force to prevent the cell from bursting - turgid

= when water moves out of the cell the protoplast pulls away from the cell wall
= plasmolysosis
