Does water surround cells?
No, they are surrounded by cell membrane aka plasma membrane. This is for ALL cells.
What are surface cells?
Surface cells are membrane reactors. They store water and serve as integral membrane proteins. These cells bind other cells to each other.
Why do onion cells not rupture when placed in distilled water?
Because plant cells have a rigid cell wall
Why do onion cell plasmolyze?
it is the contraction or shrinking of the cell membrane of a plant cell in a hypertonic solution in responce to the loss of water by osmosis
What do larger cells have trouble moving water and nutrients through?
the membrane
When the salt solution was added to the onion cells which was the greater concentration (most pure) of water(inside or outside the cell membrane?
The water inside the cell was less salty and therefore had more water than the outside. Water then leave the cells and they will become 'wrinkled' looking or wilted.

What would happen to red onion cell if sucrose solution added?
In a hypotonic solution like distilled water the onion cell would "swell up" and the cytoplasm expands and water diffuses into the cell

When the onion and cheek epithelial cells was placed in the distilled water?
eat cholate
What in onoins make you cry?
Onions, like other plants, are made of cells. The cells are divided into two sections separated by a membrane. One side of the membrane contains an enzyme which helps chemical processes occur in your body. The other side of the membrane contains molecules that contain sulfur. When you cut an onion, the contents on each side of the membrane mix and cause a chemical reaction. This reaction produces molecules such as ethylsufine which make your eyes water. To prevent crying when you cut an onion, cut it under a running tap of cold water. The sulfur compounds dissolve in water and are rinsed down the sink before they reach your eyes. You can also put the onion in the freezer for ten minutes before you cut it. Cold temperatures slow down the reaction between the enzyme and the sulfur compounds so fewer of the burning molecules will reach your eyes.
What is the shape of onion root tip cells?
how does the shape of a root hair cell help take in water so quickly
How does the structure of the cell's membrane help the cells regulate water?
The semi-permeability of the cell membrane regulate water movement by osmosis.
How is Osmosis in red blood cells?
Osmosis is the diffusion of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce through a semi permeable membrane. In red blood cells, this semi permeable membrane is the cell membrane. If red blood cells were placed in a solution abundant with water molecules, they would diffuse into the cells through the membrane
What do larger cells have trouble moving water and nutrients through?
the membrane
