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)

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

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)

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

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

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)

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)

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

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

1. DE Talburt, GT Johnson. (1965). Plasmoptysis of Filamentous Fungi. Mycologia, 57(4). 660-662. -link-
2. 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)
