What happens to plant cells when placed in a hypotonic solution?

When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.


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 would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?

When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.


When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?

If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.


What would happen if you put liver cell in a hyptonic solution?

If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net movement of water into the cell and it will eventually burst. If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there will be a net movement of water out of the cell and it will shrink.


Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a?

Hypotonic solution


What happens to animal cells when in distilled water?

When placed in an hypotonic solution (distilled water) an animal cell will engore itself with the water to the point of brakage. This is because the cell itself is an isotonic (aka: has balances mineral content) and the "mineraless" water will become attracted to the stable solution inside the cell. A diagram can be found somewhere, I suggest looking up cells and hypotonic soutions in Biology.
