Because the addition of salt, the solution outside of the cell become hypertonic to the cell. This means that the water has left the cell because it was following the concentration gradient. Visually: all the chloroplasts which were originally lining the outside of the cell are now grouped in the middle of the cell because the cell has become shriveled.
They would wither because the salt solution is a hypotonic solution. This meaning that there is more water concentration inside the elodea leafs, and less in the solution outside the cell, so the water inside the cell rushes out. Down the concentration gradient, causing the leafs to wither.
Well, the chloroplasts will all scrunch up together and it will look like one big chloroblast blob. you might even see them move, if you are lucky. :)
they shrivel up
Look somewhere else ok.........:> Byee
The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.
An ELODEA cell is a PLANT cell. A HUMAN EPIDERMAIL cell is an ANIMAL cell. if you know that plant cells and animal cells have different organelles, then you should be good to go.
Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.
tomatos are good
Cutin, stomata and guard cells are used for water loss prevention. These are not needed because Elodea is a water plant.
Elodea is a freshwater aquatic plant.
Elodea cells are smaller
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
Is Elodea cell an organism?

the elodea cells swell and the cell becimes fat and dies
yes elodea cells do. They use it to move.
Both. Both cells are plant cells and plant cells have chloroplasts. (Elodea is the waterweeds)

Both cells
yes
Elodea is a multicellular organism.
