How do you tell when an onion cells are dead or alive?
You can tell if an onion cell is alive by observing its turgidity and color. Live onion cells are turgid, meaning they are firm and full of water, giving them a healthy green color. Dead onion cells will appear shriveled, discolored, and lack turgidity. You can also perform a simple plasmolysis test to determine cell viability.
Can animal cells undergo plasmolysis?
Animal cells undergo lysis, and plant cells undergo plasmolysis. Lysis occurs when a plant cell explodes due to too much pressure on the inside, and plasmolysis occurs when the vacuole of a plant cell shrinks away from the cell wall due to lack of water.
What does plasmolysis explain?
Plasmolysis explains the process in plant cells where the cell membrane detaches from the cell wall due to water loss, leading to the shrinking of the cell contents. This occurs when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, causing water to move out of the cell.
Why are plant cells selected to demonstrate plasmolysis rather than animal cells?
Plant cells are selected to demonstrate plasmolysis because they have a cell wall that maintains the structure of the cell even when the cell membrane shrinks due to water loss. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, so they would burst instead of undergoing plasmolysis in a hypertonic solution.
What two parts controls the shape and turgidity of plant cells?
The cell wall, which provides structural support and shape to the cell, and the central vacuole, which stores water and helps maintain turgidity through osmotic pressure, are the two key parts that control the shape and turgidity of plant cells.

What are the effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells?
Hypertonic solutions are solutions that have a higher concentration than that of its immediate environment. The effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells is crenation in animal cells and plasmolysis in plant cells.
What are some practical applications of plasmolysis in animal cells?
i don't know plss help me because i need it to may lab activity the submission is tomorrow...:(

Why does celery stalks cells go limp when water diffuses out?
Plasmolysis
Why does osmosis cause elodea leaf cells to shrink?
Due to plasmolysis

Will turgidity carrot cells in salt water increase or decrease?
Turgidity will decrease in salt water because water in the carrot will flow out in order to try to equalize the high concentration of salt.
