If plant cells are immersed in distilled water the resulting movement of water into the cells is called?
The process is called osmosis.
Why do onion cells not rupture when placed in distilled water?
Because plant cells have a rigid cell wall
What happens to the cells when the salt water is flushed out with distilled water?
osmosis ocurs and water moves into the cell, expanding the membrane.
Why plant cells in distilled water do not behave exactly same way as animal cell?
Animal cells will burst because they have no outer structure to allow them to keep their shape. However, plant cells have a cell wall which keeps the cell from bursting.
Can a plant grow in salt water or distilled water?
Some plants do benifit from salt in the water but you can experiment with distilled water for your plants.
What happens when you water a plant with distilled water?
it grows

When plant cells are exposed to salt water what happens to them?
When plant cells are exposed to salt water the process of dehydration occurs. The cells die as a result of the water that is pulled out during dehydration.
Can a plant grow in distilled water?
no
What are flaccid cells?
If too much water has been lost or not enough water is available, a plant will begin to wilt. When this happens the cells of a plant become flaccid.

Does a plant grow better watered with well water distilled water or tap water?
Tap water. Distilled water contains no salts and therefore no nutrition for the plant. In reality distilled water would not be able to be absorbed by osmosis into the root system of the plant - as osmosis relies on the differences in concentration of minerals dissolved in the water to work.
