What correctly describes the normal tonicity conditions for typical plant and animal cells?
Typical plant cells have a tonicity that is hypotonic to their environment, meaning they have a higher solute concentration than the surrounding environment. In contrast, typical animal cells have a tonicity that is isotonic to their environment, meaning their internal and external solute concentrations are balanced.
What concentration of solutes is equal the concentration of solutes inside the cell?
when a concentration of something, usually water, is the same inside and outside a cell, it is called an isotonic solution. When there is more inside the cell or membrane, but less outside, the solution is hypotonic. when there is more on the outside , it is known as hypertonic. however, it depends what you are describing
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.
What type of solution do animal cells prefer?
Animal cells prefer an isotonic solution, where the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell are equal. This allows for the proper balance of water and nutrients to be maintained within the cell, promoting normal function and preventing dehydration or swelling.
OBSERVING OSMOSIS IN PLANT CELLS?
You can observe osmosis in plant cells by placing a plant cell in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution and observing any changes in cell size and shape due to the movement of water. Hypertonic solution will cause cell to shrink (plasmolysis) and hypotonic solution will cause cell to swell. You can use a microscope to observe these changes in plant cells during osmosis.
Will a plant wilt in an isotonic solution?
No, a plant will not wilt in an isotonic solution because the concentration of solutes inside and outside the plant cells is equal, allowing for a balance of water movement into and out of the cells. This prevents excessive water loss or gain that can lead to wilting.
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.
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
What are the three types of solution in animal and plant cell?
The three types of solutions in animal and plant cells are isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell compared to inside, causing the cell to swell. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell compared to inside, causing the cell to shrink.
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.
