Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plant cells with more water coming into the cell than leaving through the process of osmosis are referred to as turgid. Water pushes on the inside of the plant cell walls, similar to how air pushes on the inside of a balloon. This makes the cell look full, or plump, giving produce a healthy appearance.
When animal cells burst due to osmosis, they are described as lysed.
Plant cells in an isotonic solution (where two solutions have the same osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane) are flaccid.
Plants in a hypertonic solution (higher concentration of solutes outside the cell) are plasmolyzed, which means the plant cell membrane has shriveled away from the cell wall.
