Plant cells placed in a solution with an equal water concentration to the contents of their cytoplasm and vacuole (dilute sugar solution) will not experience an overall change in volume.

Many physiological processes take place under flow conditions: blood flowing through the vasculature, cells migrating through the endothelium, and biofilms forming in tissue. BioFlux shear flow ...
