What happens if a plant cell is placed in a higher concentration than the cytoplasm?
Water leaves cell by osmosis and membrane separates from wall. Causes plant to wint

What happens if a plant cell is put in a concentration lower than the cytoplasm?
Water will enter until cell is fully turgid. Will make plant stay upright

What is active transport?
The process at which cells absorb substances against the concentration gradient
