concentration of water concentration of water (less salt or (less salt or sugar dissolved in it) sugar dissolved in it) to a low to a low concentration of water concentration of water (more salt or (more salt or sugar dissolved in it)sugar dissolved in it).. This means This means that water would cross a selectively that water would cross a selectively permeable membrane from a dilute permeable membrane from a dilute solution (less dissolved in it) to a solution (less dissolved in it) to a concentrated solution (more concentrated solution (more dissolved in it).dissolved in it).

Because there is a higher Because there is a higher concentration of water concentration of water outside the cell, water outside the cell, water enters the cell by enters the cell by OSMOSISOSMOSIS. In this case too . In this case too much water enters and the much water enters and the cell swells to the point of cell swells to the point of bursting open. In the end bursting open. In the end pieces of cell membrane pieces of cell membrane are left in the water. are left in the water.

This membrane is a complex This membrane is a complex structure that is responsible for structure that is responsible for separating the contents of the cell separating the contents of the cell from its surroundings, for controlling from its surroundings, for controlling the movement of materials into and the movement of materials into and out of the cell, and for interacting out of the cell, and for interacting with the environment surrounding with the environment surrounding the cell. the cell.
