What else can I help you with?
What is the shrinking of plant cells called when water leaves so the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall?
plasmolysis
What is the shrinking of plant cells when water leaves the cell membrane?
It is called plasmolysis. The cytoplasm and vacuole shrink but cell wall remains the same.
What is the shrinking of cells called?
skylers thing
Chloroplasts are found in what types of cells?
Plant cells, not animal cells.
What term describes the condition of plant cells after being placed in distilled water?
Plasmolysis describes the condition of plant cells after being placed in distilled water. In plasmolysis, water exits the cell by osmosis, causing the cell membrane to detach from the cell wall. This results in the cell shrinking and the cytoplasm pulling away from the cell wall.
What was the effect of the salt solution to the cells of the rhoeo discolor leaf?
The salt solution likely caused the cells of the Rhoeo discolor leaf to undergo plasmolysis, where water leaves the cells due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This can lead to the cells shrinking and the leaf wilting or shrinking in size.
Suppose the test tube contained plant cells instead of red blood cells what will happened if the cells were placed in water with very little salt?
If the plant cells were placed in water with very little salt, they would undergo a process known as plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cell membrane away from the cell wall due to water loss. This occurs because the water concentration outside the cells is higher than inside, causing water to move out of the cells, leading to wilting and potential cell damage.
Why can an animal cell change shape but a plant cell cannot?
Plant cells have rigid cell walls made of cellulose that provide structural support and prevent drastic changes in shape. Animal cells do not have a cell wall and rely on their cytoskeleton for support, allowing them to change shape more easily.
Does a lichen have plant cells or animal cells?
Plant cells.
What Plant cells have?
Plant cells do not have centrioles, but animal cells do.
What kind of cells are plant cells?
All plant cells are eukaryotic cells
What are skin and plant cells?
they are cells in a plant.
