Because both the cell and the outside are isotonic (equally balanced in concentration) the water will contue to move equally in both directions. cool

∙ 13y agoNothing would happen because that is what the cell is supposed to be in. Iso means the same; so the solute concentration is the same inside and outside of the cell

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
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.
In which of the following would there be the greatest need for osmoregulation?
Plant Cells need hypotonic enviroment in order to stay turgid because Plant cells wither in an isotonic solution because there must be an inflow of water into the cells for the plant cell to stay turgid against its cell wall.
What type of solution do animal cells prefer?
I believe plant cells prefer a hypotonic solution.
What is a an osmoticum?
Any substance that acts to supplement osmotic pressure in a plant or a culture of plant cells. An agent, such as PEG, mannitol, glucose or sucrose, employed to maintain the osmotic potential of a nutrient medium equivalent to that of the cultured cells (isotonic). Because of this osmotic equilibrium, cells are not damaged in vitro.

Will a plant wilt in an isotonic solution?
Yes, in an isotonic solution the plant loses Turgour Pressure and the cell wall becomes less rigid and the plant will wilt.
What happens when you put plant or animal cells in isotonic?
i think that it will divide and make a better cell then it will die
What happens to a cell plant cell or animal cell when placed in following solution a hypotonic solution b isotonic solution c hypertonic solution?
When placed in an isotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is roughly equal to the that within cells), there is equal diffusion of water into and out of the cells. Therefore, the cells find this environment suitable. In a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is much more than that within cells) water diffuses into cells as a result of which the cells swell. Excessive swelling causes the cells to burst, a phenomenon called cell lysis In a hypertonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is lesser than that within cells) water moved out from within cells to the surrounding medium. As a result of this, cells shrink.

Why do herbaceous plants wilt when they do not have enough water and stand erect when they have water?
This relates to the type of solution the plant cells are exposed to. In general, there are 3 distinct types of solutions in nature: hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic. A hypotonic solution is one that has a low concentration of a solute relative to the solute concentration inside the cell, such as distilled water. An isotonic solution has the same solute concentration as the inside of the cell. A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute than the inside of the cell.Back to the plants...When plants wilt, that means the are exposed to an isotonic solution. When this happens, the net amount of water moving between cells and the environment is equal. As a result, the cell becomes flaccid and the plant wilts.When plants stand erect, this is a result of turgor pressure. When in a hypotonic solution, such as distilled water, the plant cells absorb the water and store it in its central vacuole. The cell cytoplasm enlarges and pushes up against the sturdy cell walls. This cell is said to be turgid, or stable.
How do cells respond to environments with different solute concentrations?
There are three types of solute concentrations, Isotonic, Hypotonic and Hypertonic. The prefix refers to how much solute is in the solution as compared to the inside of the cell. In Isotonic, the cell and solution have the same concentration of solute, so the cell stays the same size. In Hypertonic, the cell has less solute than the solution, and therefore gives water to to balance out and shrivels. In Hypotonic, the cell has more solute than the solution, and accepts water from the solution, thereby swelling, which is potentially beneficial in plant cells but can destroy animal cells. I hope this answers your questions. Isotonic is the best for animals, hypotonic is the best for plants.

What happens to both plant and animal cells when they are placed into a solution that is hypotonic?
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid
Is saltwater good for plants?
saltwater wilts plants because the saltwater is a hypertonic solution (meaning there is a higher concentration of solutes in the solution compared to the cell) so the water from the plant cells leaves the plant to try to dilute the solution and reach equilibrium (or isotonic, meaning that the concentration of solutes is equal between the cell and solution). this will create plasmolysis in the plant cells, causing the central vacuole to pull away from the cell wall, therefore wilting the plant.
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 type of solution do animal cells prefer?
I believe plant cells prefer a hypotonic solution.
