What else can I help you with?
What happens to a cell if too much water moves into the cell?
eventually the cells will dry out and die
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).
When too much water enters a cell it is known as?
When too much water enters a cell, it is known as cell swelling or cytolysis. This can occur due to osmosis, where water moves into the cell to try to equalize concentrations of solutes inside and outside the cell. If too much water enters, the cell can burst or undergo damage.
What happens when a cell gains water?
When a cell gains water, it might swell up due to the increase in volume. This can exert pressure on the cell's membrane, causing it to stretch. In extreme cases, too much water influx can lead to cell lysis or bursting.
What might happen if too much water moved out of the cell?
You would dehydrate, and most likely be very ill or die.
What happens if to much water is in a cell?
Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.

What are the effects of the uptake and loss of water in animal cells?
In pure water, or a weak salt solution; water moves into the cell. The cell wall then swells and bursts. This is due to the cell taking in too much water, so much so that it bursts. This is known as Lysis. In a medium salt or sugar solution there is no net movement of water. This is because the amount of water going into and out of the cell is equal. In a strong salt or sugar solution the water moves out of the cell. This mean the cell shrinks and shrivels and it has lost too much water so has shrivelled. This is known as crenation.

What might happen if too much water moved into a cell?
If too much water moves into a cell, it could cause the cell to swell and possibly burst. This is known as lysis and can ultimately lead to cell damage or death.
What will happen when water moves into a animal cell?
If too much water moves into an animal cell, the cell will grow large and eventually burst. This is not life-threatening though, in fact that's the reason you sometimes have wrinkly fingers after you've taken a long shower or bath.

What might happen if too water moved into a cell?
It could lyse (break)
What happens to the particles of a liquid as the liquid evaporatēs?
it moves much much faster
What happens when plant is put into water?
If a plant cell is placed in fresh water, there will be a net movement of water into the cell - because the solute concentration inside the cell is greater than outside. This occurs because the system is attempting to reach equilibrium (where the concentrations inside and outside are equal). Unlike an animal cell, a plant cell will not burst when excess water enters the cell. This is because the cell wall helps the plant cell maintain its structure.
