What might happen if too much water moved into a cell?
It could lyse (break)
What happens if to much water is in a cell?
Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.
What causes a hypotonic state?
The cell is holding too much water therefor the water will flow out of the cell
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 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 might happen if too much water moved out of the cell?
You would dehydrate, and most likely be very ill or die.
What might happen if too little water moved out a cell?
it will swell
What might happen if too water moved into a cell?
It could lyse (break)
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.

The cell is holding too much water therefor the water will flow out of the cell

What would happen if cell membrane had too much water?
the cell membran will get harder

Why does water need to be transported OUT of an animal cell?
Either because there is too much water inside the cell or wastes need removed.
What is the cell wall responible for in the cell wall?
Making sure the cell doesn't burst by absorbing too much water.
