Biology 1 Packet II Lab• Plasmolysis in Plant Cells

Copy this information on bottom of Pg. 32 in your Packet:

• Plant cells have a vacuole, which is like a water balloon.

• When a vacuole is full of water, it causes the cell to expand, like air in tires, and the plant has strength to stand tall.

• No water in vacuole = Wilted/Drooping plant • Elodea is a plant. • Salt water will cause water from vacuole to leave

cells.
