They cannot split up; when a plant cell is subjected to high concentrations of water, it cannot burst as an animal cell would due to the presence of cell walls. Instead, they become turgid (swollen) and are therefore no longer able to carry out photosynthesis which is essential for them to survive - they become redundant. Alternatively, if subjected to high concentrations of, for example, salt, the cell will shrink (plasmolyse) and again be unable to carry out photosynthesis.

Hope this helps :) --------------------------------------------I think the answerer misunderstood the question During mitosis of plant cells, the cell wall stay where it is while the cell on the inside divide into two daughter cells separated by cell membranes. These daughter cells then synthesize a new cell wall to separate them as they begin to grow and expand.

A plant cell splits into two new cells by cytokinesis. This is a process where two daughter cells are formed from a single eukaryotic cell.

Yes. Plant cells do have a cell wall and a cell membrane. They have a cell wall because it is the cells outer layer of protection.

In general, all Plant cells have cell-walls (may be some show exceptions). Animal cells do not have cell wall.
