Osmosis in cells: comparison

 

Plant cells

Animal cells

Cell membrane

Present

Composed of a phospholipid bilayer

Selectively permeable

Cell wall

Present

Composed of cellulose

Fully permeable

Absent

Osmosis of water into and out of cell

Can occur

Cell placed in solution with a lower water potential

Water leaves through the selectively permeable cell surface membrane by osmosis

Volume of the cell decreases

Protoplast shrinks / pulls away from the cell wall

Cell is plasmolysed

Water leaves the cell through the selectively permeable cell surface membrane by osmosis

Volume of cell decreases

Cell shrinks / shrivels up

Cell placed in solution with a higher water potential

Water enters the cell through the selectively permeable cell surface membrane by osmosis

Volume of cell increases

Protoplast expands / pushes against the cell wall

The cell wall withstands the increased pressure created

The pressure increases until the cell is rigid and firm (turgid)

The cell is fully inflated with water and no more can enter

Water enters the cell through the selectively permeable cell surface membrane by osmosis

Volume of cell increases

There is no cell wall to resist the increased pressure that is created

The cell membrane is eventually overstretched and the cell bursts
