aommaster Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Ok, i know what turgidity is: it is when a plant's vacuole is full of water What is the difference between flaccidity and plasmolysis
Neurocomp2003 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 flaccid is the opposite of turgid isn't it? plasmolysis ....passing of water or absorbing i think.
aommaster Posted January 19, 2004 Author Posted January 19, 2004 hmmm..... i think i need it in lots more detail. YT may be able to explain it to me!
YT2095 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 lol, not my area dude, sorry my Biology is little more than A level, and that was 4 years ago with no use (I`ve forgotten alot). there`s others MUCH MORE qualified than I in that area
wolfson Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Flaccidity is lacking firmness, and plasmolysis is contraction of the protoplasm away from the wall of a living plant or bacterial cell, caused by loss of water through osmosis.
YT2095 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 and both have to do with Salt imballances inside or outside of the cell See, I did remmeber something
aommaster Posted January 20, 2004 Author Posted January 20, 2004 Yup YT, so, does it go in this order? Turgidity---Flaccidity---Plasmolysed? And what is protoplasm? Is it the vacuole?
wolfson Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Protoplasm is the complex translucent substance that constitutes the living matter of plant and animal cells and manifests the essential life functions of a cell.
YT2095 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 and usualy divided into 2 parts, Cytoplasm and the nucleus
wolfson Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 The outer portion of the continuous phase of cytoplasm of a cell.
aommaster Posted January 20, 2004 Author Posted January 20, 2004 hmmm... Thanx guys. My sis was looking at ectoplasm. She says that it is a plant in the Harry Potter world! lol Thanx guys
