Difference Between
Key Difference – Plasmolysis vs Cytolysis When a cell is immersed in a solution, there is an osmotic pressure that builds up between the cell and the solution. Depending upon the nature of the solution, the cell undergoes two physical changes, namely plasmolysis and cytolysis. When the cell is immersed in a hypertonic solution, […]
Key Difference – Plasmolysis vs Hemolysis Plasmolysis and hemolysis are two processes occurring in the cells. Plasmolysis is the process of the shrinking of plant cells due to the water loss by exosmosis. Plasmolysis occurs due to high water potential of the cell compared to the outside solution. Until water potentials become equal, water […]
Key Difference – Plasmolysis vs Deplasmolysis Water molecules move across the cell membrane according to the difference of water potential in and out of the cell. When the outside solution has a low water potential, until water potential becomes equal, the cell loses water molecules to the outside solution. When the water potential of the […]
Key Difference – Plasmolysis vs Turgidity The movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential via a semi-permeable membrane is called Osmosis. The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell. It allows selected types of molecules to go in and out […]
Key Difference – Osmosis vs Plasmolysis Particles move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration passively until an equilibrium is achieved between two regions. This process is known as diffusion and it happens spontaneously in all environments. Osmosis is a special version of diffusion in which water molecules move […]
