Why does a plant like celery get limp when placed in hypertonic solution?

Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.

What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
What would happen to a plant cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?
The plant cell would shrink but remain its shape.
When a plant with flexible cell walls is placed in a hypertonic solution what happens?
The plant with flexible cell walls when placed in a hypertonic solution tends to grow larger in size by uptaking the solution by the principle of osmosis where molecules from higher concentration moves to a region of lower concentration and this happens in the cell through small minute pores present in the cell walls.
What would occur if a plant cell were placed into a strong hypertonic solution?
Your large intestine would take in the water and it would give you diarrhea.

hypertonic
How does being placed in a hypertonic solution affect a plant?
The hypertonic solution can make the plant weak or wilt because there is no water.
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.
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is plasmolysis

How hypotonic and hypertonic solution can make a plant rigid and firm or make it wilt.?
it can make it wilt because there is no water in the cell which is hypertonic solutions.
Why did plant cells plasmolyze when immersed in a hypertonic solution?
Plant cells plasmolyze when immersed in a hypertonic solution when the cell wall detaches under high pressure causing water to be lost. The more solutes a cell has, the less water becomes available.
Which conditions best model the effects of drought on plant cells?
We can model the effects of a drought with the characteristics of a plant in a hypertonic solution.
How salt effects water?
Since salt water is hypertonic to the plant cell, the water would move into the hypertonic solution (extracellular) and out of the hypotonic plant cell. The cells would lose water and it would die.
