Osmosis Simulator

Water crosses a semipermeable membrane from where solutes are dilute toward where they are concentrated, so a cell swells or shrinks depending on the solution around it. That movement is what holds plant cells firm and what animal cells must constantly balance. Here you change the surrounding concentration and watch cell volume respond.
