Water molecules only
Plant cell full of water, firm, under turgor pressure
Pressure of vacuole/cytoplasm against cell wall
Plant cell that lost water, membrane pulls from cell wall
Water enters by osmosis, cell becomes turgid
Water leaves by osmosis, cell becomes plasmolysed
Plant wilts
Water enters, cell expands and bursts (no cell wall)
Water leaves, cell shrinks and dehydrates
Same water concentration inside and outside cell; no net water movement
Lower water conc. than inside cell; water moves out
Higher water conc. than inside cell; water moves in
Removes water from microorganisms by osmosis, killing them
