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.

∙ 9y agoWhen a cell is placed in pure water, or any hypotonic solution, water will move outward from inside the cell to the extracellular space. This follows the main rule of diffusion that states water will passively move from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration.

∙ 15y agoThe cell will absorb water due to osmosis and burst. This is because the amount of disolved solutes inside the cell is greater than outside the cell and so plain water goes from outside to inside via osmosis.

∙ 11y agoIt depends if the freshwater solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic. Normally, freshwater is isotonic, so the cell will have no net water movement through its membrane and remain the same size as well as carry out normal functions. If the water is hypertonic, the water currently inside the cell will diffuse out through its membrane, forcing the cell to shrink and possibly die. If the water is hypotonic, water from the outside of the cell will diffuse into the cell, forcing the cell to swell and possibly burst.

What happens if a cell is dropped into a container of pure water?
Water moves into the cell.
What happens when a cell gains water?
If a cell gets to much water inside of it, it will burst.
What happens to a cells when they are put in a higher concentration of water?
When a cell is placed in higher concentration of water then endosmosis of water in the cell takes place because in the cell water concentration is low and osmotic(solute) pressure is high so water moves from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration which means it moves inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid.
What happens when to much water moves into a cell?
When too much water moves into a cell it will burst and die.
What happens to a cell in a isotonic solution?
the plasma membranes water flows at an equal rate. animal cells function the best in an isotonic environment. in an isotonic environment the blood cells stay normal and do not get lyced (which happens in hypotonic environments) and they do not shrivel (which happens in hypertonic environments).
What happens when you put a cell in salt water and why?
The inside of a cell and the outside of the cell are usually in equilibrium as far as salt is concerned. Water always follows salt.If the outside has more salt, then water will follow it outwards. The cell will lose water and become shriveled.
What happens when plant is put into water?
If a plant cell is placed in fresh water, there will be a net movement of water into the cell - because the solute concentration inside the cell is greater than outside. This occurs because the system is attempting to reach equilibrium (where the concentrations inside and outside are equal). Unlike an animal cell, a plant cell will not burst when excess water enters the cell. This is because the cell wall helps the plant cell maintain its structure.
What happens when you put a egg in salt water?
The egg should have its water or substance in the egg come out through the cell membrane. :)
What happens when a cell plant is placed in salt. In a potato I made a hole and I put salt on it . In other hand I put this in a cup with water. What will happens in relation a Diffussio aND oSmos?
~When you put salt in potato and then put it in the water cup, there is low water concentration in potato and more concentration in the cup of water. Due to this concentration gradient water moves from the cup into the potato by osmosis.
What happens if a cell is dropped into a container of pure water?
Water moves into the cell.
What happens when a cell gains water?
If a cell gets to much water inside of it, it will burst.
What happens when rheo leaves are boiled in water first and then a drop of sugar syrup is put on it?
If thr Rheo leaves put into the boiled water the all plant cell will kill and after that if we put a drop of syrup ,nothing wil happen because cell is dead and plasmolysis can not be taken place.

What happens to a blood cell in a sodium solution?
If a blood cell is put into a high sodium solution it will become crenated (shrivel up). Water will flow out of the cell into the solution. If it is put in a low sodium solution it will absorb water/expand outward. If the sodium concentration of the blood cell and outside environment are the same, nothing will happen.
What happens to a cells when they are put in a higher concentration of water?
When a cell is placed in higher concentration of water then endosmosis of water in the cell takes place because in the cell water concentration is low and osmotic(solute) pressure is high so water moves from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration which means it moves inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid.
What happens if vacuole in a plant cell no longer filler with water?
the cell won't have water when it is needed
