Why does the cell wall and the cell membrane prevent the plant cell from bursting?
The cell wall is made up mostly of cellulose which, when formed into polymers, becomes stable. This allows the cell to have a greater pressure difference because the strength of the cell wall can keep more water in.
What prevents plants cells in a hypotonic environment from saturating and bursting?
The cell wall with tonoplast prevents them from bursting.
What prevents cell bursting?
Onions have cells with a strong, rigid cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane. This cell wall stops the cell from bursting when it absorbs water by osmosis.
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution the cell wall prevents?
The plant cell wall helps prevent bursting. When placed in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell, because the concentration of solutes inside the cell is greater than outside. The cell wall helps to support the cell, and maintain rigidity.
What is a structure that plant and fungus cells have that help keep from bursting?
The plant cells have a strong rigid cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane. This cell wall stops the cell from bursting when it absorbs water through the process of osmosis.
Function of cell wall in bacteria?
keep its shape, prevent the bacterial cell from bursting.
What are the three jobs of the cell wall?
The three jobs are: Maintain the shape of the cell; Protect the cell; Prevent bursting due to turgor pressure.

How does a cell wall help plants?
It provides support for the plant cell. If the plant cell fills with water, the cell wall will prevent it from bursting, allowing the cell to reach a "turgid", or rigid state. This is contrary to animal cells, which have no cell wall and burst if too much water enters them
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution the cell wall prevents?
The plant cell wall helps prevent bursting. When placed in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell, because the concentration of solutes inside the cell is greater than outside. The cell wall helps to support the cell, and maintain rigidity.
What is the cell wall protecting the cell from?
the cell wall protects cells from 1. bursting 2. external damage from antibodies
What is a structure that plant and fungus cells have that help keep from bursting?
The plant cells have a strong rigid cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane. This cell wall stops the cell from bursting when it absorbs water through the process of osmosis.
What is the job of the cell wall?
It is to protect and support the plant cell.
What organelle keeps some animal cells from bursting in a hypotonic solution?
contractile vacuole
What does the cell wall prevent lysis of?
The cell wall prevents the cell from bursting because of a hypotonic environment, meaning that there is a high concentration of water moving into the cell that may have a lower concentration of water, by diffusion. When this happens, the cell may burst resulting in the destruction of the cell. the cell wall has interwoven fibers, preventing lysis.
