Effects of Osmosis in Plant and Animal Cells

This video covers osmosis! In explores osmosis and its profound impact on both plant and animal cells. Osmosis, the movement of water from areas of high to low concentration through a semipermeable membrane, is a fundamental process crucial for cellular function. Join us as we uncover the dynamic interplay between different solutions, cell membranes, and the fascinating consequences on cellular morphology.

In this comprehensive breakdown, we dissect the effects of osmosis on plant cells immersed in distilled water and salt solutions, revealing the remarkable phenomena of turgidity and plasmolysis. Witness how the resilient cell wall of plant cells safeguards against overexpansion, leading to turgid states in hypotonic conditions, while hypertonic environments induce plasmolysis, illustrating the delicate balance between osmotic pressure and structural integrity. Furthermore, explore the contrasting outcomes of osmosis on animal cells, where the absence of a rigid cell wall culminates in lysis in hypotonic conditions and cellular dehydration in hypertonic surroundings.
