The typical mature, vacuolate plant cell constitutes a tiny osmotic system, and this idea is central to any concept of cellular water dynamics. Although the cell walls of most living plant cells are quite freely permeable to water and solutes, the cytoplasmic layer that lines the cell wall is more permeable to some substances than to others. If a plant cell in a flaccid condition—one in which the ...
