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 can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid
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.
The scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells when placed in a hypotonic solution is turgid. This occurs when water moves into the cell causing it to swell and become firm.
i dont know.......maybe a hypotonic solution!
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the solution it is being compared to. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure.

A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
When red blood cells (RBCs) are placed in a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cells due to a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell. This causes the cells to swell and potentially burst, a process known as hemolysis.
Hypotonic means having reduced pressure or tone. That solution is hypotonic compared to this one.
Yes, if a plasmolysed cell is placed in a hypotonic solution it can recover as a turgid cell.
