Summary
By changing the velocity of protoplasm motion, a plant cell with a membrane permeability coefficient of 10−3 cm/s is able to control the intensity of transmembrane water exchange. The data were obtained by synchronous tracking, with the effective water self-diffusion coefficients measured by pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance.
