What is the shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis?

Shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis occurs when water moves out of the cytoplasm due to a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This causes the cytoplasm to lose water and shrink, ultimately leading to cell dehydration and potential damage.


What is Contraction of a cells cytoplasm because of water loss?

Contraction of a cell's cytoplasm due to water loss is known as plasmolysis. This occurs when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, causing water to diffuse out of the cell, leading to the shrinkage of the cytoplasm and detachment of the cell membrane from the cell wall.

Why is the water potential of distilled water higher than the water potential of the cytoplasm of the cell?

distilled contain no solute. so, its water potential is constantly 0. plant cell carry out photosynthesis continuously to produce sugar. thus, cytoplasm of plant cell always contain solute that lower the water potential of cytoplasm.


What do amoebas use to pump out excess water from their cytoplasm?

Amoebas use contractile vacuoles to pump out excess water from their cytoplasm. These vacuoles collect and expel water to maintain their internal balance and prevent them from bursting due to osmotic pressure.
