They all have to do with the salt to water ratio of a cell.
What else can I help you with?
Does turgor pressure in a hypertonic solution increase or decrease?
more solutes = less osmotic pressure = decreased turgor pressure
Do plants like to be hypertonic or hypotonic in their environment?
Plants prefer to be in a hypotonic environment, where the surrounding solution has a lower solute concentration than the plant cells. This allows for water to flow into the plant cells through osmosis, maintaining turgor pressure and supporting cell structure and function. In a hypertonic environment, water would flow out of the plant cells, causing them to shrink and wilt.
Describe the wilting of plants from a tonicity standpoint?
If a flower is hypertonic, that means it does not have alot of water and it needs water. if a flower is hypotonic, that means it has water. If a flower wilts, it means that the flower had alot of H2O and so it is leaving to go to the soil. so the wilting of plants means they are hypotonic
How can hypotonic conditions make the plant stand up?
Hypotonic conditions in a plant cell can create turgor pressure by causing water to move into the cell faster than it can exit due to higher osmotic pressure inside the cell. Turgor pressure pushes the cell membrane against the cell wall, making the cell rigid and helping the plant stand up straight.
If a cell with 95 percent water is placed into a solution of 10 percent salt what solution is the cell in?
If a cell containing 97% water was placed in a hypertonic solution of 10% salt and 90% water, then the cell would crenate. This occurs due to osmosis. The hypertonic solution will pull out the water which will cause the cell to shrink. It does this to reach equilibrium but equilibrium cannot be attained. The concentration of the hypertonic solution is too great for the cell or Isotonic so the permeable cell will give to the osmotic pressure being greater than turgor pressure; solute and waste will be removed from the cell causing it to shrink in size because the turgor pressure keeps the cell stable.
What term describes the condition plant cells require?
Plant cells require turgor pressure to maintain their structure and function. Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the fluid content within the cell against the cell wall. It helps provide support and rigidity to the plant.
What are the three types of osmosis?
1.] Isotonic - concentrationg is the same on the outside and inside [dynamic equilibrium] 2.] Hypotonic - concentration of substances lower outside the cell, water flows in, turgor pressure increases, and cell bursts 3.] Hypertonic - concentration of substances higher outside the cell, water flows out and cell shrinks
Turgor pressure occurs in what kind of solution?
Turgor pressure occurs in a hypotonic solution where the cell's cytoplasm has a higher solute concentration than the surrounding environment, causing water to flow into the cell and create pressure against the cell wall.
Wilting is counteracted by?
Turgor Pressure
Plant cell with good turgor pressure?
Plants that have higher water concentration stores the water in the central vacuole and gives them more turgor pressure. Plants that are in watery environment might be high on turgor pressure.
How does being placed in a hypertonic solution affect a plant?
Being placed in a hypertonic solution causes water to move out of the plant cells by osmosis, leading to loss of turgor pressure and wilting of the plant. This can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to cell death if the plant is not able to recover by accessing more water.
What word is used to desribe plant cells in a hypotonic solution?
In a hypotonic solution, plant cells are described as being turgid. This occurs because water enters the cells, causing them to swell and create internal pressure against the cell wall. This turgor pressure helps maintain the plant's structural integrity and keeps it upright.
