Animal cells undergo lysis, and plant cells undergo plasmolysis. Lysis occurs when a plant cell explodes due to too much pressure on the inside, and plasmolysis occurs when the vacuole of a plant cell shrinks away from the cell wall due to lack of water.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agono, plasmolysis can´t happen in animal cells as they don´t have a cell wall.
plasmolysis occurs only when a plant cell loses water
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoIt happens because the cytoplasm lacks water.

Why are plant cells selected to demonstrate plasmolysis rather than animal cells?
Plant cells are selected to demonstrate plasmolysis rather than animal cells. This because thy have the ability to absorb water through endosmosis unlike animal cells which would burst.
When will a plant cell undergo plasmolysis?
as soon as it sprouts
What does plasmolysis explain?
Plasmolysis contraction of the protoplasm in a living cell when water is removed by exosmosis. The process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution.
Why do plants cells have choroplast and animal cell do not have them?
Plant cells have chloroplasts because they undergo photosynthesis, which is the process of converting sunlight into energy. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which is necessary for capturing sunlight. Animal cells do not undergo photosynthesis; therefore, they do not need chloroplasts.
The effects of plasmolysis and turgidity on cells?
it is harmful for plants and useful for animals

When will a plant cell undergo plasmolysis?
as soon as it sprouts
Do animal cells undergo cytokinesis?
Yes.
Is it both animal and protists cells undergo miosis?
No its animal cell which undergo meiosis. Even only germ cells in animals undergo meiosis to provide half the no. of chromosomes in their gametes so tht they can maintain the exact no. of chromosomes in cells
What process does an animal undergo when the sperm and cells unite?
Fertilization
What does plasmolysis explain?
Plasmolysis contraction of the protoplasm in a living cell when water is removed by exosmosis. The process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution.
What process does an animal undergo when the sperm and egg cells unites?
Fertilization
What are the effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells?
Hypertonic solutions are solutions that have a higher concentration than that of its immediate environment. The effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells is crenation in animal cells and plasmolysis in plant cells.
What do you call the shrinking of an animal cell?
plasmolysis
Why do plants cells have choroplast and animal cell do not have them?
Plant cells have chloroplasts because they undergo photosynthesis, which is the process of converting sunlight into energy. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which is necessary for capturing sunlight. Animal cells do not undergo photosynthesis; therefore, they do not need chloroplasts.
Are chloroplast in animal cells?
no. Chloroplasts are only in plant cells. chloroplasts are what makes the plant green.
What is the shrinkage of cytoplasm within a cell from diffusion is known as?
The shrinkage of cytoplasm within an animal cell is known as crenation.
