What is Osmosis and Plasmolysis Explained about?
This document discusses osmosis and plasmolysis in plant cells. It defines osmosis as the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to lower. In plant cells, osmosis allows water uptake through the root which supports growth and turgor pressure. The document contrasts turgid cells that have taken up water with limp, wilted cells that have lost water. It also describes plasmolysis, where plant cells placed in hypertonic solutions lose wate
