What environment do most plant cells live in?
hypotonic
Which type of cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic?
Animal cells will burst (lyse) first in a hypotonic solution because they lack a cell wall.
What is the environment of a red blood cell when red blood cells are approximately 0.25 percent salt Red blood cells are placed in distilled water?
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
What will happen when animal cells are in fresh water for a long time?
When animal cells are in fresh water for a long time cytolosis occurs and red blood cells explode.
What organelle keeps some animal cells from bursting in a hypotonic solution?
contractile vacuole
When a human red blood cells placed in a hypotonic environment it will?
When a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, it iwll undergo cytolysis, which basically means it will explode.
Which term is used to describe an animal's ability to survive if the cells are exposed to a hypotonic or hypertonic environment?
osmoregulation
What can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain?
What can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain
What environment do most plant cells live in?
hypotonic
Which osmotic environment is best for plant cells?
A plant cell is best in a hypotonic environment
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
How does a cell maintain homeostasis?
Plant cells maintain homeostasis in an hypotonic environment by having cells walls that keep them from exploding
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.
Which type of cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic?
Animal cells will burst (lyse) first in a hypotonic solution because they lack a cell wall.
What is hypotonic cell?
Hypotonic cells are cells that have been exposed to hypotonic solutions. These solutions cause cells to plumb as they fill with the solution.
What happens to cells in a hypotonic environment?
it will swell.
What advantages do cell walls provide for plants in fresh water?
They prevent the cells from lysing in the hypotonic environment.
