About this document
Understanding Plasmolysis and Diffusion by jadomfe0 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Plasmolysis is reversible in hypotonic solutions, allowing cells to regain shape through deplasmolysis, but prolonged water loss can lead to cell death. Diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from high to low concentration, essential for gas exchange, nutrient transport, and waste removal in living organisms. Active transport, requiring ATP, moves substances against their concentration gradient, maintaining cellular homeostasis through mechanisms like the sodium-potassium pump and endocytosis.
