Which osmotic environment is best for plant cells?

A plant cell is best in a hypotonic environment


Why would a paramecium cell exhibit cytolysis in a hypotonic environment whereas a plant cell simply exhibits turgor?

A plant cell has a wall.


What happened when plant is place in hypertonic environment?

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).


What is the ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell?

Hypotonic


How does a cell maintain homeostasis?

Plant cells maintain homeostasis in an hypotonic environment by having cells walls that keep them from exploding


What environment do most plant cells live in?

hypotonic


In a plant cell which maintains homostasis?

Plant cells maintain homeostasis in an hypotonic environment by having cells walls that keep them from exploding


A plant cell placed in a hypotonic solution will not lyse because?

The cell wall prevents the plant cell from bursting.


What do cell wall do for a cell?

maintain the cell shape and prevent the cell from burst when the surrounding environment is hypotonic


When plant is place in hypotonic solution?

the plant cell shrinks and this is because concentration is high in the solution and less in plant cell


If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell and collects in?

It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.


What happens to plant cells when placed in a hypotonic solution?

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.
