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

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


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.


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.


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.


In which direction did the water move to make the red blood cell shrink Why did water move in that direction?

The water moved out of the red blood cell, causing it to shrink, a process known as crenation. This movement occurred because the surrounding solution was hypertonic, meaning it had a higher concentration of solutes than the inside of the cell. As a result, water diffused out of the cell to balance the solute concentrations, leading to the cell's shrinkage.


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.


Does water move when a cell is in an isotonic environment?

In such a situation there is no net flow of water towards inside or outside of the cell.The flow of water is only possible in case of the placement of the cell in a hypotonic or hypertonic solutions.
