What else can I help you with?
What do plant cells have that prevent them from swelling after an intake of too much water?
When a plant cell is full of water. It will get ready to burst. But if it tries to burst it will not. Because of something that a plant cell has. It is a Cell Wall.
What happens in a animal cell in pure water an why does this not happen in a plant cell?
It can possibly burst.
If placed in a hypotonic solution a plant cell will?
No, because the plant cell contains a cell wall which causes the plant cell not to burst. But, it will gain water until it cannot take anymore and the pressure will prevent more water from entering.
What happens when you submerge a plant cell and an animal cell in solutions with different water potential?
They both will eventually burst.
Ways osmosis can affect a cell?
If water moves into a cell it becomes turgid and if an animal cell can burst. Plant cell will not burst due to cell wall. If water moves out of the cell it is known as flaccid and the cell membrane will contract make the cell smaller, again if its an animal cell.
Will plant cells burst if a lot of water moves into the cell?
Atleast in Phylum Ciliophora - unicellular, heterotrophic, protist, 'animal-like,' surface covered by cilia - it has a contractive vacuole that helps. The fresh water goes into the cell and the contractile vacuole squeezes the water out again, otherwise, it would explode. I am not a teacher or an expert on this, but I do have an exam on all of the Phylums of Kindom Protista in my Biodiversity class tomorrow, so I'm pretty well researched on this.
Question 7 text A cell wall stops a plant cell from taking in so much water that it will burst?
The cell wall provides structural support and helps maintain the shape of the plant cell. It acts as a barrier that regulates the movement of water and other molecules in and out of the cell, preventing it from taking in too much water and bursting.
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
A plant cell bursts in a hypotonic solution because water enters the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell. The increased water uptake in a hypotonic environment creates pressure on the cell wall, eventually leading to bursting.
What happens when plant is put into water?
If a plant cell is placed in fresh water, there will be a net movement of water into the cell - because the solute concentration inside the cell is greater than outside. This occurs because the system is attempting to reach equilibrium (where the concentrations inside and outside are equal). Unlike an animal cell, a plant cell will not burst when excess water enters the cell. This is because the cell wall helps the plant cell maintain its structure.
Can a plant vacuole burst?
no, the cell wall prevents the vacuole from bursting. boo yah
Why an animal cell is more likely than a plant cell to burst?
A plant cell has a cell wall outlining the outside of the cell so when the plant cell absorbs the water, the cell wall keeps the cell intact and from bursting but since the animal cell lacks a cell wall, the water easily builds up and then bursts. I hope this helped!
Will a plant cell burst if placed in a hypotonic solution?
The cells burst because the solution is diluted i.e.,the cell is more concentrated than the solution. So the cells gain water by osmosis and since animal cells have no cell wall they will fill with water until they become so stretched that they burst.
