What happens when a cell gains water?

When a cell gains water, it might swell up due to the increase in volume. This can exert pressure on the cell's membrane, causing it to stretch. In extreme cases, too much water influx can lead to cell lysis or bursting.


What happens when to much water moves into a cell?

When too much water moves into a cell, it can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst. This process is known as lysis and can be harmful to the cell's structure and function. Cells regulate their water content through osmosis to maintain a balance and prevent lysis.

What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?

If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).


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.


What happens when the concentration of water molecules is greater outside a cell than inside?

There will be a net movement of water out of the cell, the cell will become shrunken. Water will move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.

What happens if a cell is dropped into a container of pure water?

If a cell is dropped into pure water, water will enter the cell by osmosis. This can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst due to the increased pressure within the cell.
