What is the l in plasmolysis and the plasmoptysis is the pt?
In the context of plant cells, "plasmolysis" refers to the process where the cell membrane detaches from the cell wall due to loss of water, typically in a hypertonic solution. The "l" in plasmolysis signifies the loss of water leading to cell shrinkage. Conversely, "plasmoptysis" describes the bursting of a cell when it takes in too much water, resulting in the cell membrane rupturing; the "pt" in plasmoptysis highlights this bursting effect. Both processes illustrate how cells respond to changes in osmotic pressure.
Difference between plasmolysis and plasmoptysis?
Plasmolysis is the process where a plant cell loses water and shrinks away from the cell wall due to osmotic water loss. Plasmoptysis, on the other hand, is the bursting of a plant cell due to excessive water uptake, often occurring when the cell wall cannot withstand the internal pressure.
If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell causing the cell to swell and possibly burst?
Correct, in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell in an attempt to balance out the concentration of solutes on both sides of the cell membrane. This influx of water can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst due to the increased pressure.
What is the difference between osmotic pressure and turgor pressure?
Plasmolysis is when a cell shrinks due to water living. Plasmoptysis is the bursting fourth of protoplasm from a cell, through rupture of the cell wall.
