Description
Cell volume regulation is of importance to animal cells, since swelling or shrinkage results in cell death. Osmotic pertubation confronts the cells with the problem of volume regulation, because most animal cell membrane are highly permeable to water. A number of cellular physiological activities are associated with osmotic perturbation to cells.
