What is bacterial plasmolysis?
Incipient PlasmolysisThe stage of plasmolysis at which the first sign of shrinkage of cell contents from cell wall becomes detectable is called incipient plasmolysis
Whats it called when a Celll has no water?
plasmolysis-dehydrated
When will a plant cell undergo plasmolysis?
as soon as it sprouts
Is plasmolysis an example of active transport?
Osmosis is the tendency of fluid to pass through a semi-permeable membrane until there is an equal concentration of fluid on each side of the membrane. The fluid in not transported, movement is self induced
Does the Elodea plant cell change size when it has undergone plasmolysis?
no
What happens to the volume of the cytoplasm during plasmolysis?
The volume of cytoplasm reduces during plasmolysis
What is concave plasmolysis?
cancave plasmolysis ar always irreversible and convex ar usually reversible.
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is plasmolysis

Is the shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis?
plasmolysis
What is the shrinkage of cytoplasm within a cell from diffusion is known as?
The shrinkage of cytoplasm within an animal cell is known as crenation.
What is the shrinking of a cell due to loss of water?
Osmosis, or diffusion of water across a membrane, is the process that's happening when a cell's cytoplasm shrinks due to water loss. The process by which a plant cell's cytoplasm shrinks due to water loss is called plasmolysis
What do you call the shrinking of an animal cell?
plasmolysis
What is the shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis called?
plasmolysis
Explain how hypertonicity can be used as a means of controlling microbial growth?
Hypertonic is net movement of water out of the cell. Cells lose water by osmosis and becomes shriveled which can cause plasmolysis; inhibits cell production.
