When plant is place in hypotonic solution?
the plant cell shrinks and this is because concentration is high in the solution and less in plant cell
What does osmosis do to plant and animal cells in pure water?
Plant cells have a strong rigid cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane. This stops the cell bursting when it absorbs water by osmosis. The increase in pressure makes the cell rigid. This is useful as plants do not have a skeleton. Instead the leaves and shoots can be supported by the pressure of water in their cells. If plant cells lose too much water by osmosis they become less rigid and eventually the cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall.
What is the size of a plant cell vacuole?
A little less than half the size of the cell
What typical plant cell organelle would a root cell have less of than a leaf?
chloroplasts
Will a plant wilt in an isotonic solution?
Yes, in an isotonic solution the plant loses Turgour Pressure and the cell wall becomes less rigid and the plant will wilt.
Why do plant Cells have Cell walls and animal Cells have Cell coats?
The plant's cell wall protects the cell from damage (the plant cells are less fragile than animal cells and less flexible).Plant and bacterial cell walls provide intense strength using cellulosic materials. Some animal cells equally require this same strength yet they utilize a sugar-protein [glycocallyx] cell coat.

Do plant and animal cells have the same parts?
Plants and animals have the same cell structure except plants have chloroplast. Chloroplast causes plant's green coloring. It is the part of the plant that does photosynthesis and makes the plant green.

A little less than half the size of the cell

How does the cell wall limit the cell?
A cell wall makes a cell more rigid and makes it less permeable which is beneficial as it can prevent stuff from easily flowing in or escaping.
Why do plants have cell walls while animals do not?
Because plants do not move, they need something to keep them from flapping around. They do not have bones because they do not need to endure so much interaction with their world. They have a cell wall because it also helps them to stay more firm and stay put so that if a wind blows, one part of the plant is in the soil and the other part is at a whole new block. Also because the plant cell is full of water, that is what makes the plant "Perky". When the plant needs water, the cells releases it, and that makes the cell walls less firm. The result it that there is not as much pressure on the wall of the cell and the plant droops. As soon as you water the plant, the cells will fill up, and the plant will perk up again.
Why are kids more flexible?
As a child grows, some bones start fusing together. This makes the person less flexible.
What happened when plant is place in hypertonic environment?
A hypertonic environment contains a higher concentration solutes then do the interior of the cell. This causes the water within the cell to move through the membrane and makes the cell shrink. A hypotonic solution has the opposite effect. The cell will swell and even explode (lysis).
If you have a plant in water what will happen to the water?
there wil be a lot less than there was starting with because the plant uses the water for part of photosynthesis, it takes sun light, water and co2(carbon dioxide) and makes o2( oxygen) and energy for the cell(which makes up your body so it gives your body energy)
What are the parts of the cell found in animal cells which are not found in plant cells?
the cell parts that are present in plant cells but are not present in animal cells are:: 1.chloroplast 2.cell wall 3.vacuole and also the plant cell is rectangular in shape while the animal cell is roughly oval in shape
