What else can I help you with?
How do viruses leave the host cell?
They cause the cell to burst. This is called lysis.
How does the freezing method affect the cell?
Any freezing will cause a cell to burst and die.
What happens if to much water is in a cell?
Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.
Which type of cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic?
Animal cells will burst (lyse) first in a hypotonic solution because they lack a cell wall.
What might cause a cell to burst?
a lytic virus All viruses cause cells to burst. First a virus disguises itself as a component a cell might require thus giving the virus access to the cell. The virus takes control of the cell and injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then has the cell produce exact copies of the virus. In a few hours there are too many viruses for the cell to hold resulting in the burst of the cell.
Why gauge glass burst?
A gauge glass may burst depending on the gauge itself. High temperature and pressure situations may cause the glass to burst.
Why plant cell does not burst if placed constantly in hypotonic solution?
well the cell walls prevent the cell from expanding but it does cause little damage to the cell wall
What is the word that means that a cell swells and burst?
When a cell swells and burst
Would red blood cells burst when placed in fresh water?
Yes - this is because there is a higher solute concentration inside the cell, so there will be a net movement of water into the cell (trying to reach equilibrium). This will eventually cause the cell to burst.
What happens to a cell if the water in it freezes?
When water in a cell freezes, it forms ice crystals that can puncture through the cell membrane. This can cause the cell to burst or become damaged, leading to cell death.
What might happen if too much water moved into a cell?
If too much water moves into a cell, it could cause the cell to swell and possibly burst. This is known as lysis and can ultimately lead to cell damage or death.
What does the cell wall prevent lysis of?
The cell wall prevents the cell from bursting because of a hypotonic environment, meaning that there is a high concentration of water moving into the cell that may have a lower concentration of water, by diffusion. When this happens, the cell may burst resulting in the destruction of the cell. the cell wall has interwoven fibers, preventing lysis.
