Transport of water between cells and their environment
Transport of water between cells and their environmentWhat will happen to an animal cell or a plant cell placed in a sugar or salt solution in water? Osmosis will take place and the movement of water molecules will depend on the concentration of the surrounding solution.1. In a hypotonic (dilute) solution, the cell will gain water by osmosis. This is because there is a higher water concentration outside the cell. The cell sap, or cytoplasm, has less water molecules than the outer solution. Water molecules pass in both directions across the cell membrane. But more water enters the cell than goes out of it. So the net movement of water is into the cell, due to which the cell increases in volume, or swell up. This is called endosmosis.2. When the cell is placed in an placed in an isotonic solution, which has exactly the same water concentration as the cell, there will be no net movement of water molecules across the cell membrane. Although water passes the cell membrane in both directions, the amount coming in is the same as the amount going out. So there is no net movement of water and the cell remains the same size.3. When the cell is immersed in a hypertonic (very concentrated) solution, water will diffuse out of the cell by osmosis. This is because there is a low concentration of water outside the cell. Although water molecules pass the cell membrane in both directions, more water goes out of the cell than enters it. As a result, the cell will shrink. This process is called exosmosis. If exosmosis continues in a plant cell, the cytoplasm would appear shrunken. This is called plasmolysis and cell is said to be plasmolysed.

Ayan Ghosh
8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

7thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thBeing a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
Prisha Gupta
8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
