8178839727hypertonic (animal cell)when the cell is immersed in a solution where it loses water to its environment, shrivels and probably dies.22
8178839728hypotonic (animal cell)when a cell is immersed in a solution, water enters the cell faster than it leaves, it swells and lyses (explodes) like an overfilled water balloon.23
8178839729osmoregulationthe control of water balance24
8178839730Parameciumis a protist that is hypertonic to the pond water in which it lives.25
8178839731turgidwhen the plant cell is very firm, which is a healthy state for most plant cells.26
8178839732hypotonic (plant cell)when a plant cell is immersed in a __________ solution the cell contents swell due to osmosis until the elastic cell wall exerts turgor pressure on the cell that opposes further water outake.27
8178839733isotonic (plant cell)when a plant cell is immersed in a _______ solution; there is no net movement. The cell becomes flaccid and the plant may wilt.28
