B4 WORDS

FLACCID- Plant cell has lost water so it is soft and floppy

PLASMOLYSIS- The shrinking of a plant cell due to loss of water. (cell membrane pulls away from cell wall)

TUGOR PRESSURE- The pressure exerted on the cell membrane when the cell is fully inflated

TURGID- Plant cells are full of water with their walls bowed out and pushing neighbouring cells

CRENATION- Process where cells become partially deflated and have a scalloped edge as they have shrunk

LYSIS- cell bursts/splits
