Step 1
- In distilled water, the plant cell is likely turgid, meaning it is swollen with water. - In a strong sugar solution, the plant cell is likely plasmolyzed, meaning it has lost water and the cell membrane has pulled away from the cell wall. Show more…

Draw a plant cell in pure water. Add dots to indicate solutes inside the cell. Now add dots to indicate an increase in solute potential inside the cell. Add an arrow showing the direction of water movement in response. Add arrows showing the direction of wall pressure and turgor pressure in response to water movement. Repeat the same exercise; but this time, add solutes to the solution outside the cell at a concentration that is greater than the inside of the cell.
Cell is filled with solutes and water. Imagine cell filled with 46% glucose and submerged in distilled water. (The cell membrane is permeable to glucose) Draw diagram of this here to help you understand the concentrations; and then answer the questions below. Where is the sugar concentration greater? Inside the cell. Where is the water concentration greater? Outside the cell. What will move by diffusion? The solute. In which direction will the net diffusion be: into or out of the cell? Out, this movement is against the gradient. What will move by Osmosis? Water. In which direction will the net Osmosis be: into or out of the cell? Into, this movement is against the gradient. Is the environment isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic? Hypertonic. Is the cell isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic? Hypotonic. Label the scenario below with the tonicity and direction of Osmosis.

The diagram shows a glass container divided in half by a selectively permeable membrane. One half contains water and the other half contains a sucrose solution. (Fig 1) (a) Explain with the diagram below to show the change in the level of water and the level of the solution after one hour. (b) Define the process that causes the change in the level of water and the level of the solution. Sucrose solution Water Selectively permeable membrane
