OsmosisDiffusion of Water
Biology 11Ms. Lowrie
Selectively Permeable Membrane
Isotonic Solution
Solute & water concentration: Equal inside and outside
cell
Water moves in and out equally Dynamic equilibrium
Cell size: Stays the same
= solute
Hypotonic Solution
Solute concentration: Higher INSIDE cell
Water concentration Higher OUTSIDE cell
Water moves INTO cellCell size:
Grows Think: hypo = hippo!
= solute
Hypertonic Solution
Solute concentration: Higher OUTSIDE cell
Water concentration Higher INSIDE cell
Water moves OUT OF cellCell size:
Shrinks Think: hyper = sweat
= solute
Osmosis in Plant Cells
Turgor pressure A type of water pressure Applies only to plant cells
When is a plant rigid or wilted? Depends on water level in
vacuoles
Turgor Pressure
When high: Vacuole(s) full Pushes cytoplasm
against cell wall Keeps plants rigid
Hypotonic
When low (due to water loss): Vacuole(s) shrink Cytoplasm and cell
membrane pull away from cell wall
Plant wilts
Hypertonic OR isotonic
Dangerous Water Movement!
Animal Hypotonic solution
May burst “Lysed”
Plant Hypertonic
Cell membrane pulls away from cell wall
“Plasmolysis”
Extra Questions
1. What determines whether water will enter or leave a cell?
Concentration of solutes or water
2. Why will a goldfish die if it is placed in salt water?
Hypertonic situation Goldfish cells will give off water
Any Questions???
Let’s review!
