When we will put animal cell in a solution of sugar or salt in water there will be osmosis as the concentration of water is lower around the cell and the concentration is higher in cell so the cell will become shrink and a plant cell will become plasmolized.

∙ 13y agoFirst of all it depends on what type of cell it is:
a) If it is a plant cell then the concentration of water is more inside the cell than outside the cell (since most of the solution has salt in it ) . Hence by the process of osmosis the water travels from inside the cell to the external surrounding hence shriveling the cell . This is called as plasmolysis since the cell w all remains the same but the plasma membrane shrivels up .
b) In animal cells the same process takes place shriveling the cell , only since it doesn't have cell wall plasmolysis doesn't take place .

What happens to the pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).
What happens when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
crenation take place
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution will the flow of water be in or out of the cell?
The water will flow out of the cell.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What happens to the pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).
What happens to plant cells when placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.
What happens when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
crenation take place
What happens when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?
Nothing. There would be no gradient between the cell and the solution.
What happens to a leaf cell if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?
The cell would lose water and the membrane would collapse.
If a cell is placed in a solution water flows from the cycloplasm of the cell to the solution?
Hypertonic
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution will the flow of water be in or out of the cell?
The water will flow out of the cell.
What happens to a cell when is placed in a hypersonic solution?
The cell expands/gets bigger.
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
