When water is plentiful, the cell expands so that the plant stands upright. Without water, the cell shrinks, so the plant wilts.

What type of cell has a nucleus and a large vacuole?
A plant cell has a larger vacuole than animal cell. The plant cell needs to store more water for photosyheteis and to keep the rigidy of the cell wall. That's why plants wilt when they don't get enough water.
How does hypertonic affect an plant cell?
hypertonic means the cell has too much water, it's become water logged. In an animal cell the cell will rupture, however the cell wall of the plant cell with prevent this from happening and the plant cell with become swollen.
What stores water in a plant cell?
In a plant cell, the vacuole stores water as well as food. The central vacuole stores food and water, but also waste.
What specialist plant cell carries water?
The zylem is situated in the plant cell and it's function is to transport water to the leaves of the plant - from root to leaf. This process is called transpiration.
If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell and collects in?
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
What are some of the differences in a plant and animal cells appearance?
The plant cell has a cell wall while the animal cell has a cell membrane.
What happens to plant cell in medium concentrated water?
if the plant cell is in concentrated water...it shrinks .i.e the water in plant cell flows out and hence the plant cell loses its turgidity and shrinks.this process is called exosmosis .
What does a large vacuole do in a plant cell?
It holds water in the cell for later use.
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.
What is the job of water molecules in a plant cell?
To bring about all metabolic activities in a plant cell water is essential.
What type of cell has a nucleus and a large vacuole?
A plant cell has a larger vacuole than animal cell. The plant cell needs to store more water for photosyheteis and to keep the rigidy of the cell wall. That's why plants wilt when they don't get enough water.
How does the stem cell help the plant?
The cell in the plant stem helps the plant by transporting water and materials throughout the plant.
What does a transport system do in a plant cell?
transports food and water supplies to the plant and cell.
How does hypertonic affect an plant cell?
hypertonic means the cell has too much water, it's become water logged. In an animal cell the cell will rupture, however the cell wall of the plant cell with prevent this from happening and the plant cell with become swollen.
What do plant cells have that prevent them from swelling after an intake of too much water?
When a plant cell is full of water. It will get ready to burst. But if it tries to burst it will not. Because of something that a plant cell has. It is a Cell Wall.
If a plant cell is in water will it burst?
NO.
What kind of diffution takes place when plant cell absorbs water?
The plant cell absorbs water by simple diffusion and osmosis.
