Is a plant with roots a plant cell or animal cell?

It is a plant cell, a animal cell is in something with movement.


Part of the animal cell that regulates movement of materials in and out of the nucleus?

The Golgi bodies regulate movement in and out of the nucleus in an animal cell.


What would happen if you put liver cell in a hyptonic solution?

If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net movement of water into the cell and it will eventually burst. If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there will be a net movement of water out of the cell and it will shrink.


All but one factor plays a part in water movement in and out of the cell That is?

All factors play a part in water movement in and out of the cell. Key factors include osmotic pressure, concentration gradients, and the presence of aquaporins. Each factor influences the direction and rate of water movement to maintain cellular homeostasis.


If animal cell has a cell wall?

Animal cells do not have cell walls. If they did - they animal would not be likely to survive, as the rigidity of the cell wall would restrict movement.


What allows water to cross the permeable membrane of an animal cell?

Water crosses the permeable membrane of an animal cell through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, across a selectively permeable membrane. This process helps maintain the balance of water inside and outside the cell.


What direction cell to cell water movement occurs?

It would depend on what is in the water. If there is more sodium (Na) in the water than in the cell, water will move out of the cell. The cell will become limp or crenate. If the opposite is true, the cell will swell and could burst. A good rule of thumb is "water follows salt (NaCl)". This means that wherever there is more salt, water will follow.


Which part of an animal cell help control the movement of material in and out of the cell?

Cell Membrane


A cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is 35 percent water Which way will the net movement of water go?

If the cell and the solution contain the same percentage of water, the solution is isotonic. This means that the net movement of water will not be in either direction, there will be no net movement.


What are two functions of a cytoskeleton in a animal?

The functions of the cytoskeleton used in an animal cell, is for the movement of the animal and so that objects within the cell can move.


Leaf mesophyll cell in distilled water What is the net movement in water?

In a leaf mesophyll cell placed in distilled water, water will move into the cell through osmosis. This is because the cell has a higher solute concentration than the distilled water, creating a concentration gradient that drives the movement of water into the cell.


When the concentration of free water molecules is higher outside a cell than inside the cell water will diffuse?

into the cell to create equilibrium. This process is known as osmosis. The direction of water movement is determined by the concentration gradient of water molecules between the inside and outside of the cell.
