Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solute than the cell. Water rushes into the cell and causes it to lyse, or explode.

What cell controls turgor pressure?
A plant cell has a cell wall that pushes back against water pressure in the cell when the cell is in it's preferred condition of hypotonicity. This is turgor pressure.
Does distilled water have a greater hypotonicity than pond water?
Tonicity of water depends on the concentration of solutes present in a water. As pond water more solutes then in distill water which either having less or negligible ammount of solutes. So distilled water is more hypotonic then pond water
What results from water pushing on the cell mambrane out to the cell wall in a plant cell?
A turgid condition that allows vascular plants to rise high enough to get leaves into good sunlit conditions. Lysis of the cell by hypotonicity is also avoided by having a cell wall in plants.
What cells need hypotonicity to be at homeostasis?
Red blood cells require a slightly hypotonic environment to maintain their normal shape and function. This is because water moves into the cell by osmosis, helping to prevent the cells from shrinking or bursting.
What would happen if the liquid part of your blood was too watery and dilute?
If the liquid part of your blood, known as plasma, becomes too watery and dilute, it can lead to a condition called hypotonicity. This dilution can cause a decrease in the concentration of essential proteins, electrolytes, and nutrients, impairing various bodily functions. Additionally, it may result in swelling of cells due to osmotic imbalances, potentially leading to complications like edema or decreased oxygen transport. Overall, maintaining the proper balance of plasma is crucial for overall health.
What are two methods cells use to withstand hypotonic environments?
Plant cells have rigid cell walls that prevent bursting. The pressure of the cytoplasm against the cell wall keeps the plant from wilting and losing its shape. This pressure is called turgor pressure Some protists (such as Paramecium) counteract hypotonicity with the use of contractile vacuoles that pump water rapidly out of the cell.
