What happens if to much water is in a cell?
Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.
What happens when to much water moves into a cell?
When too much water moves into a cell it will burst and die.
What happens when a cell gains water?
If a cell gets to much water inside of it, it will burst.
How much water is in a cell?
84%
Is it important for a cell to regulate water?
yes, if a cell gets to much water, it will not work properly, that is why cells have cell membranes and cell walls
What are the effects of the uptake and loss of water in animal cells?
In pure water, or a weak salt solution; water moves into the cell. The cell wall then swells and bursts. This is due to the cell taking in too much water, so much so that it bursts. This is known as Lysis. In a medium salt or sugar solution there is no net movement of water. This is because the amount of water going into and out of the cell is equal. In a strong salt or sugar solution the water moves out of the cell. This mean the cell shrinks and shrivels and it has lost too much water so has shrivelled. This is known as crenation.
What will happened if a cell takes in too much water?
If water kept entering the cell, then eventually the cell would burst and die.
What causes a hypotonic state?
The cell is holding too much water therefor the water will flow out of the cell
Where does a cell get water?
Cells get water in plants from the phloem, tube-like structures that use a hydraulic system to pump water throughout the plant. Once the water is pumped to a cell, the cell membrane controls how much water goes in and out of the cell.
How much water enters and leaves a cell?
As much as the plant needs. The excess water is thrown out.
Question 7 text A cell wall stops a plant cell from taking in so much water that it will burst?
A cell wall does stop a plant cell from taking in so much water that it will burst. This is possible because of homeostasis.
What is the main function of a plant cell that has rigid cell walls?
to much water in vacuole
