The condition of being turgid or swelled up when the fluid is more inside a cell. The condition between turgidity and plasmolysis in which the cell membrane is not being pushed against the cell wall.

It occurs when cells are kept in hypotonic solution. It occurs when cells are placed in isotonic solution.

It is done by both endoosmosis It is done by both endoodmosis and exosmosis.

It has a high water potential that can occur inside a cell. It has low water potential then turgidity.
