Abstract
⺠The activation energy for water transport across membranes increases at subzero temperatures. ⺠Two different water transport processes can be identified during freezing of cells. ⺠DMSO does not prevent membrane dehydration during freezing. ⺠DMSO decreases the activation energy for water transport during freezing.
