Osmosis is taking place

The chemical concentration inside the cell is greater than outside therefore water moves by osmosis into the swell and causes it to swell. If this continues beyond a certain point the cell can lyse (burst).

If Too much water moved into a cell?
The water vacuole would burst
What is the result of a cell being placed in distilled water and then transfered to a 5 percent salt solution?
If a cell is placed in distilled water, it will likely absorb water and swell up due to osmosis. When transferred to a 5 percent salt solution, the cell will lose water and shrink, as the high salt concentration outside the cell will cause water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This process is known as plasmolysis.
A Cell is placed in a salt solution whose concentration is greater than cell?
When a cell is placed in salt water it will shrink, but will swell in carbonated water. m.c
Why do animal cells swell when in water?
Due to lack of rigid cell wall
What will happen to guard cell and stomatal pore when water flows?
The guard cell swell when water flows into them,causing stomatal pore to open.
What happening when the cell starts to swell up with water?
Osmosis is taking place.
What is happening with the cells start to swell up with water?
The chemical concentration inside the cell is greater than outside therefore water moves by osmosis into the swell and causes it to swell. If this continues beyond a certain point the cell can lyse (burst).
Why does water enter a cell that is placed in a hypotonic solution?
water enters a cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell.
What is cause a cell to swell and possibly brust as water enters the cell?
osmosis
Why does a cell placed in hypotonic solution swell?
water flows into the cell
Solution that causes a cell to swell?
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
What might happen if water kept entering cells but no water left the cell?
it will swell
If Too much water moved into a cell?
The water vacuole would burst
What might happen if too little water moved out a cell?
it will swell
What might happen if too little water moves out of a cell.?
it will swell

How does osmosis occur in an egg cell?
Osmosis occurs in an egg cell if you place it in liquids. If you put it in vinegar, the egg's shell will start to dissolve. Then, you can test osmosis in water or salt water. Because the egg is considered a cell, it will swell the egg cell with plain water (meaning it will increase the egg's mass). With salt water, the egg cell will shrink in mass.
