Imbibition

Imbibition is a phenomenon by which the living or dead plant cells absorb


water by surface attraction
Hydrophilic substance helps in Imbibition

Peripheral
membrane protein Integral membrane protein

Substance made up of cellulose and protein or protein are hydrophilic.


The hydrophilic substance swell up when it imbibes water.
Seed Coat rupture due to Imbibition

The seed coat ruptures due to imbibitional pressure when the seed is
germinating
Diffusion

The molecules (solute or solvent, gas,, liquid) move freely in case of


diffusion and the movement if from higher concentration to the region of
lower concentration
Osmosis

Movement of water from region of higher concentration to lower through


semipermeable membrane
Endosmosis

High water
concentration

Water moves
inside

Endosmosis is an inward diffusion of water through a semipermeable


membrane when the surrounding solution is less concentrated. This tends
to swell up the cell.
Exosmosis

High water
concentration inside

Water moves
Low water
outwards
concentration
outside

Exosmosis is outward diffusion through a semipermeable membrane when


the surrounding solution is more concentrated. This tends to cause
shrinkage of cell.

Tonicity

Relative concentration of the solutions that determine the direction and


extent of diffusion is called tonicity.
Isotonic

Animal Plants

● The relative concentration of water molecules and the solute on


either side of the cell membrane is the same.
● There was no net movement of water. (No osmosis)
Hypotonic

Animal Plants

● The solution outside the cell has a lower solute concentration than
the fluids inside the cell.
● As a result, the water molecules from outside will move into cell
(endosmosis)
Hypertonic

Animal Plants

● The solution outside the cell has a higher solute concentration than
the fluid inside the cell.
● Due to this the water molecule from inside the cell moves out
(exosmosis)
