Luke Pilkington Osmosis
Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. If the liquid surrounding the cell is a higher water concentration than the cell, the cell will gain water by osmosis. ...
If the liquid around the cell has a lower concentration of water than the cell, the cell will lose water by osmosis. Cell walls are very strong and stop the cell from bursting when it takes up water by osmosis. Plant cells become turgid when the concentration of water around them is high. ... This pressure works against osmosis. ... Plasmolysed cells are cells that have been put into a concentrated sugar solution and have become totally flaccid, to the point that the insides of the cell have come away from the cell wall.
