What is the effect of various salt solutions on plant cells?

The amount of salt on the inside and outside of a cell must be equal for a cell to function properly. As such, if there's too much water inside of a cell, it will leak, and if there's not enough, it will absorb water from its environment to balance out its salinity, or saltiness.


What effect does staining have on plant cells?

It will make them stand out more under a microscope


What kind of cells are plant cells?

All plant cells are eukaryotic cells


How is animals cells different from plant cells?

Animal cells have lysosomes, plant cells don't. Plant cells have a cell wall made out of cellulose, animal cells don't. Animal cells have many small vacuoles, plant cells have one large vacuole. Plant cells have chloroplasts and chlorophyll, animal cells don't. Animal cells have centrioles, plant cells don't.


All plant cells contain chloroplast?

Yes, all plant cells have chloroplasts. Plant cells are the only cells that have chloroplasts, actually. No- Most Cells of Plant Roots do not!

Why would increasing soil salinity has an adverse effect on agriculture?

All plants require a particular level of salt within the soil to be able to absorb water and so flourish. The process of water passing through the membranes of the plant cells into the plant is called osmosis. If the salt content on the outside is too high compared to the salt level of the cells of the plant then the plant literally dies of thirst even though there may be lots of water. That, ultimately, spells the end of that land for any agricultural purpose.


How do auxins plants effect plant cells?

bootyThe auxins plants do deform the plant cells.


When enough water is present plant cells become firm?

Yes. It depends on what type of plant and different variables in the water (e.g. salinity, ph levels e.t.c)


What is the bumble bee's effect on Earth?

They spread pollen from one plant to another, increasing the fertilization of plants, and increasing the size of harvest.


How does salinity affect plant growth?

Depends entirely upon the plant and the salinity - all plants have a small range of tolerance but different plant species have a very wide range and some plants are actually restricted to growing in positions which stand in sea-water. Numerically, there are far more species intolerant of salinity than there are that tolerate it.


What effect does the amount of fertilizer have on the growth of a plant?

Insufficient fertilizer in plants can cause deficiency symptoms and slow plant growth. Excess fertilizer, meanwhile, can lead to salinity problems.


How does plant increase in length?

Plants increase in length by increasing the number of cells,i.e,by cell division.
