 * Directions**:


 * Under the heading assigned to your group, share your understanding, give examples, or share resources about the concept
 * Click EDIT above and type (or copy and paste) information into the appropriate place
 * Each heading should have at least 3 additions (for example: one description in your own words, one real-life example, and one link to an additional resource)

**Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane.[Sw]**
=Balance= =example - ** If a plants root gets to much water, the roots can rot, and the plant cant get enough oxygen from the soil.(SA UL) **=
 * The plant cant grow if it does not have healthy roots, so the proper balance of water is the key. (SA UL) **
 * What is it?: maintaining a balance of water between organisms and their surroundings **
 * How does it effect?: if the plant has to much water or to less water the plant will die and affect the growth. **

> How does it affect plant wilting? > In response to drought, if the plant does not get enough water it won’t give oxygen to the atmosphere. (SA, UL) > > What are some examples? > If a plant root gets to much water, the roots can rot, and the plant can’t get enough oxygen from the soil. (SA, UL) >
 * Water balance in a plant impacts how well a plant holds water. (SA, UL)

Vacuole

 * What is it? The vacuole is a membrane boundorganelle which is present in all plants and fungal cells and some protist, animal and bacterial cells.Balance (Equilibrium)
 * How does it affect plant wilting? Contribute to the rigidity of the plant using water to develop hydrostatic pressure. Also because there is not enough water in the vacuoles.(Z.E.)
 * What are some examples of it? A cabinet or store because they store water, salt, food, and protein.(Z.E.)

Compartments (of living things)
What is the compartment (cell organelles)? How does the compartment (cell organelles) affect plant wilting? Examples of compartment (cell organelles).
 * The compartment (cell organelles) is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function and is usually separately enclosed with its own lipid bilayer. They are found in both animal and plant cells. (LB, LG)
 * The vacuole which is the storage compartment of water begins to shrivel up when it doesn’t have water. This causes the plant to become dehydrated. Then the plant begins to die and starts to wilt. (LB, LG)
 * Nucleus (LB, LG)
 * Mitochondria (LB, LG)
 * Cell Wall (LB, LG)
 * Plasma Membrane (LB, LG)
 * Vacuole (LB, LG)

Cell

 * Cell: Are The Structure And Functional Units Of All Living Organisms. (an) (E.H, M,B]
 * How Does A Cell Affect Plant Wilt… It Occurs When Turgor Pressure Is Non-Lignified Plant Cells Falls Toward, Zero As A Result Of Diminished Water In The Cell. (an) (E.H,M,B]
 * Example: Plant, Animal, Skin, Muscle, Nervous, Blood, And Connective Cells.(an) (E,H, M.B] cells cells cells cells cells cells are u

Permeability

 * What is it ? The property of condition of being permeable.
 * How oes it affect plant willing ? Salt water affects the ability of a plant to take up essential nutrients.
 * What are some examples of it ? It allows fluid gases to pass or diffuse through permeable membranes, a rock that is permeable by water. [ D.C, A.A ]

**Membrane**
> A Door- beacuse it lets certain people in and out and keeps animals or dangerous things out. Skin - Because it protects your body from getting hurt and letting bad things in. A Shoe Box- beacuse it protects the shoe from any damage of the outside world like dirt or rain. (E.E)
 * What is it? The **Cell Membrane**controls which substances can go in and out of the cell. It can allow a particular substances to pass through at a certain time, and the reject the same substance at a later.(AD)
 * Why does cell membrane affct plant wilting? The space between the cell membrane and the cell wall enlarges and the plasma membrane and the protoplasm within it contract to the center of the cell. (S.P)
 * Some examples of Cell Membrane are:
