What will happen to a plant cell if kept in hypotonic solution?

Because there is a less concentration of solutes in the cell, the rules of osmosis will let water out of the cell to try to "even it out". The cell will then dehydrate and the c
entral vacuole will shrink, then the cell will collapse (which is called plasmolysis).

∙ 15y agoThe plant cell will shrivel as water leaves to enter the hypertonic solution.

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
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What are the 3 most common differences between plant and animal cells?
There are ALOT of differences. Depending on which grade you're in. Animal Cell - small vacuole Plant Cell - large vacuole (90% of cell) Animal Cell - Cell membrane Plant Cell - Cell membrane + cell wall Animal Cell - No chloroplasts Plant Cell - Chloroplasts Animal Cell - Funky shaped (any shape) Plant Cell - Rectangular Animal Cell - Hypotonic solution = bad Plant Cell - Hypotonic solution = good
What happen if cell is placed in hypotonic solution?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypo tonic solution it undergoes endosmosis thus the cell becomes turgid but in case of animal cell due to the absence of cell wall the cell may not withhold the turgour pressure and might blast.
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
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 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.
A plant cell placed in a hypotonic solution will not lyse because?
The cell wall prevents the plant cell from bursting.
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.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
What correctly describes the normal tonicity conditions for typical plant and animal cells?
The animal cell is in an isotonic solution, and the plant cell is in a hypotonic solution
If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell and collects in?
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
What happens to a plant cell if it is place in a hypotonic solution?
Osmosis works for any type of cell. Because of a lower concentration of solute inside the cell then out, the water would rush to where the solute is in an attempt to make it even. It would retain its shape because of its cell wall making it rigid which is absent in animal cells which is prone to swelling and making it burst.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
How does a plant cell fight osmosis in a hypotonic solution?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water - and a hypotonic solution means it expands. a plant cell sap has a lower water potential causing the water to enter the cell - it does not fight osmosis, it works with it.
