Untitled[edit]

I agree it's really poor quality. Why is osmosis defined in terms of water? Just wow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.151.197 (talk) 01:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why shouldn't it be defined in terms of water? Joshua Issac (talk) 20:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because it can also refer to other fluids (or other things as well, I'm not an expert at this) moving across a semi-permeable membrane. Water is used in respect to cells, where osmosis typically refers to the osmosis of water. But for the ultimate definition of osmosis (see Osmosis) is different.

This article is of a poor quality compared to the German one, can someone port the pictures over? --Grand Edgemaster 18:33, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, ported the images, still needs a rewrite though. I haven't the time. --Grand Edgemaster 18:42, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, maybe not a rewrite, but a restructure, maybe a few paragraphs? --82.43.81.42 23:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is very poorly written with a couple inaccuracies... I don't have the time to rewrite it either...-lucash

Yes, not accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Also, Plasmoptysis

There is also an alternate occurrence.

When a cell shrinks, it undergoes plasmolysis. However, when a cell bursts, it undergoes plasmoptysis instead. Here is the definition brought forth by Answers.com, among other references I could mention.--Animeronin (talk) 03:29, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of the content of Answers.com is sourced straight from Wikipedia (possibly including past versions of pages), so if you're concerned about the accuracy of this article, don't rely on Answers.com! Adrian J. Hunter^{(talk•contribs)} 04:38, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see. That entry in Answers.com on plasmoptysis actually came from:

Word Tutor. Copyright © 2004-present by eSpindle Learning, a 501(c) nonprofit organization. All rights reserved.
eSpindle provides personalized spelling and vocabulary tutoring online

Also, The Merriam Webster Dictionary already has a separate entry for the term as well. Also, the following papers:

DE Talburt, GT Johnson. (1965). Plasmoptysis of Filamentous Fungi. Mycologia, 57(4). 660-662. -link-
R Dargent. (1969). Current findings on the plasmoptysis phenomenom. C R Acad Sci Hebd Seances Acad Sci D. 269(9):882-5. -link-

So should we consider differentiating plasmoptysis from plasmolysis via a concise explanation? --Animeronin (talk) 05:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation for types of plasmolysis?[edit]

There should be more explanation for the last paragraph. "Plasmolysis can be of two types. It can be either concave plasmolysis or convex plasmolysis. Convex plasmolysis is always irreversible while concave plasmolysis is usually reversible"

Leaving the article at that doesn't seem like enough. There needs to be an explanation about what exactly convex and concave plasmolysis are. Also, this is uncited. Lekro (talk) 23:07, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
