What else can I help you with?
What would happen if cell membrane had too much water?
the cell membran will get harder
What happens when the concentration of water molecules is greater outside a cell than inside?
There will be a net movement of water out of the cell, the cell will become shrunken. Water will move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
What can happen if animal cell take in too much water?
blah blah blah
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.
How can a cell explode?
A cell can explode if there is a disruption in its osmotic balance, causing it to take in too much water and burst. This can happen if the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, causing water to rush into the cell, leading to swelling and eventually bursting.
What might happen if too much water moved out of the cell?
You would dehydrate, and most likely be very ill or die.
How does cell shape change during osmosis and cell diffusion?
Osmosis effects the volume of a cell. when the cell has equal water molecules in the water aroung it and in the cell it is shaped normally. When there is a lot of salt in the water the cell shrinks because there is less water content in the salty water thus the cell gets rid of the extra water molecules. When there is very little salt content in the water the cell gets bigger because the cell absorbs to much water.
The cell in diagram 2 has been placed in a solution that contains the interior of the cell. A. water that is warmer than?
When the cell is placed in a solution that contains the interior of the cell, and if that solution is warmer than the cell's internal temperature, water will move out of the cell through osmosis. This occurs as the cell attempts to reach equilibrium with the surrounding environment. As a result, the cell may shrink or undergo plasmolysis if it loses too much water. Conversely, if the external solution were cooler, water might move into the cell, causing it to swell.
What is the net loss of water due to osmosis when a cell is placed in a salt or suger solution?
When a cell is placed in a salt or sugar solution, water will move out of the cell via osmosis to try to equalize the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell. This will result in the cell losing water, leading to dehydration and possibly cell death if too much water is lost.
What might happen if too water moved into a cell?
It could lyse (break)
What happens when you put a cell in water?
A typical animal cell when places into fresh water will absorb so much of the water that it will burst. A plant cell will simple become turgus as the cell membrane expands to completely will the cell wall.
How do you explain a plant cell in water?
When a plant cell is placed in water, water molecules move into the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to swell. This swelling creates turgor pressure, which helps the cell maintain its structure and rigidity. Too much water entering the cell can lead to bursting, while too little water can cause the cell to shrink and wilt.
