Popis: Intact internodal cells of Chara are known to maintain their osmotic pressures at constant levels in artificial pond water at room temperature. Cell fragments with osmotic pressures higher and those cell fragments with osmotic pressures lower than the original, both of which are prepared from intact internodal cells using transcellular osmosis and ligation with threads, can also return their osmotic pressures to the original level within a week in artificial pond water. These regulatory phenomena are realized mainly by extrusion of K + and Cl - in the cytoplasm and/or vacuole or by absorption of K + and Cl - from the external solution
