What happens when a plant is placed in a hypnotic solution?
It goes in a very... deep... sleep...
What is the solution that fills the vacuoles of plant cells?
cell sap.
What happens to a cell plant cell or animal cell when placed in following solution a hypotonic solution b isotonic solution c hypertonic solution?
When placed in an isotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is roughly equal to the that within cells), there is equal diffusion of water into and out of the cells. Therefore, the cells find this environment suitable. In a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is much more than that within cells) water diffuses into cells as a result of which the cells swell. Excessive swelling causes the cells to burst, a phenomenon called cell lysis In a hypertonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is lesser than that within cells) water moved out from within cells to the surrounding medium. As a result of this, cells shrink.
Why does a plant cell lose water by osmosis when put in a concentrated solution?
Not just plant cells, all cells with semi-permeable membranes loose water when placed in a more highly concentrated solution.
What happens to plant cells during elongation?
They start to differentiate.
What happens when a plant is placed in a hypnotic solution?

What happens to both plant and animal cells when they are placed into a solution that is hypotonic?
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid
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 type of solution do animal cells prefer?
I believe plant cells prefer a hypotonic solution.
What describes what occurs in plant cells?
Botany, plant biology and micro-biology describes what happens in plant cells
What is the solution that fills the vacuoles of plant cells?
cell sap.

What happens if plant cells do not function properly?
it dies
What happens to fertilized plant egg cells?
They are horny
What do the choroplasts do?
Chloroplasts is where photosynthesis happens in plant cells.
What correctly describes the normal tonicity conditions for typical plant and animal cells?
The animal cell is in an isotonic solution, and the plant cell is in a hypotonic solution
Why does a plant cell lose water by osmosis when put in a concentrated solution?
Not just plant cells, all cells with semi-permeable membranes loose water when placed in a more highly concentrated solution.
