Salt draws water from plant cells. This causes the cells to dehydrate and the plant to shrivel up and die.

What would happen if plant cells would combine with very salty water?
Nothing would happen because the plant cell has a cell wall and it will protect it from shriveling up or dying.
What would happen if a plant didn't get enough water?
The cell memebrane would shrink from the cell wall (plasmolosis) and the cell would eventually die
What would you expect would happen to a plant if you watered it with very salty water?
Water potential of the water inside the cells is higher that the water potential of the water outside the cells. (That would means the concentration of "pure" water inside the cells are higher than that outside the cells) Water moves from an higher water potential to an lower water potential. Thus Plasmolysis of the cells will take place. Which means the Nucleus,Vacuole and all the other cellular material will move from the inside of the cell to the outside.
What happen when a living plant cell loses water through osmosis and what does that phenomenon is known as?

What does a large vacuole do in a plant cell?
It holds water in the cell for later use.

What happens in a animal cell in pure water an why does this not happen in a plant cell?
It can possibly burst.
What would happen to a plant cell in salt water?
the plant may wilt-or even due to flaccid cells. Shrinked cell is called flaccid cell ,it is due to lack of water.
What does a xylem cell do?
Xylem cells carry water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of a plant.

What is the appearance of a plant cell when water is plentiful?
When water is plentiful, the cell expands so that the plant stands upright. Without water, the cell shrinks, so the plant wilts.When water is plentiful, the cell expands so that the plant stands upright. Without water, the cell shrinks, so the plant wilts.
What happens to plant cell in medium concentrated water?
if the plant cell is in concentrated water...it shrinks .i.e the water in plant cell flows out and hence the plant cell loses its turgidity and shrinks.this process is called exosmosis .
What does a large vacuole do in a plant cell?
It holds water in the cell for later use.
What happen if a plant cell have no cell walls nubs?
i feel a plant cell wall provides shape and it is a form of protection for the cell
What will happen to the water inside bacteria when they are in an extremely salty environment?
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis
