Bursts in Animal cell
But the cell walls and vacuoles protect it in a plant cell
it will shrink
A hypertonic environment contains a higher concentration solutes then do the interior of the cell. This causes the water within the cell to move through the membrane and makes the cell shrink. A hypotonic solution has the opposite effect. The cell will swell and even explode (lysis).
Hypotonic
The cell wall prevents the plant cell from bursting.
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
The animal cell is in an isotonic solution, and the plant cell is in a hypotonic solution
A plant cell is best in a hypotonic environment
A plant cell has a wall.
A hypertonic environment contains a higher concentration solutes then do the interior of the cell. This causes the water within the cell to move through the membrane and makes the cell shrink. A hypotonic solution has the opposite effect. The cell will swell and even explode (lysis).
Hypotonic
Plant cells maintain homeostasis in an hypotonic environment by having cells walls that keep them from exploding
hypotonic
Plant cells maintain homeostasis in an hypotonic environment by having cells walls that keep them from exploding
The cell wall prevents the plant cell from bursting.
maintain the cell shape and prevent the cell from burst when the surrounding environment is hypotonic
the plant cell shrinks and this is because concentration is high in the solution and less in plant cell
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.
