Biology
1 answer:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago
7 0
Osmosis is the movement of water particles from an area of high concentration of water particles to an area of low concentration of water particles across a semi permeable membrane

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration of particles to an area of low concentration of particles across a partially permeable membrane

Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cytoplasm if a plant cell in response to diffusion of water out of the cell and into a high salt concentration solution as the cell membrane would pull away from the cell wall

Triss [41]
c. cell wall, vacuole

Among the choices above, the two features that indicate that a cell is a plant cell is the cell wall and vacuole. The cell wall can only be found in plant cells. It is the rigid cell that surrounds the cell membrane. The vacuole of a plant cell and animal cell are way too different. The vacuole of an animal cell is usually more than one and small, even smaller that that of the plant cell. On the other hand, the vacuole of the plant cell is only one in fact a large one that takes up almost 90 percent of the volume of the cell
