Does each cell of a vascular plant have to absorb water from the environment?
no
What will happen when a plant is moved from a fresh water environment to a salt water environment?
Because substances move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration, the water would move either in or out of the cell. In the fresh water, there was a lower concentration inside the cell, so the water moved into the cell. In the salt water, there would be less water on the outside of the cell, so the water would move out of the cell.
What do the valcuole do?
In a plant cell a vacuole stores water. The membrane allows the passage of water into and out of the cell. The vacuole gets smaller if there is not enough water in the environment because its water is being used in the cell to keep the cell functioning normally.
In a hypo tonic solution will a cell gain or lose water or no net change?
The cell will not loose or gain water.An isotonic solution means that the amount of solutes outside the cell is similar or equal to the amount of solutes inside the cell. Water is moving by osmosis both in and out of the cell at equal rates; the net movement of water is zero.A cell will lose water in a hypertonic solution (more solute in the surrounding environment) and gain water in a hypotonic solution (more solute in the cellular environment). Whether or not a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic is relative to the environment in the cell.
What substance makes up most of the environment inside a cell?
Water
What happen to cell if external environment has greater solute than internal environment of cell?
Water will leave the cell by facilitated diffusion and the cell will shrink and die.
Does each cell of a vascular plant have to absorb water from the environment?
no
How do you describe the osmotic environment when water rushes into the cell?
Wet
What happens if a plant cell contains more solutes than its surrounding environment?
A cell with a greater solute concentration in the external environment is hypertonic state. This means that water will be drawn out of the cell and into the external environment causing the cell to shrivel up.

How do plant cells react when they are placed in an environment with lower water concentration than inside of the cell?
The cells of a plant change shape depending on the availability of water. The cells and plant take measures to reduce the amount of water loss through their stomata and conserve the water they currently have.

Which substance makes up most of the environment inside a cell?
Water.

What happen to an animal cell when it is placed in a very dillute medium?
Due to osmosis, when the cell is in a very dilute external environment, the water in its surroundings will diffuse into the cell to reach equilibrium balancing the solutes in the cell with the dilute environment that the cell is in.
A red blood cell placed in distilled water will swell and burst due to the diffusion of what?
3. water from the blood cell into its environment
