Can animal cells undergo plasmolysis?

Animal cells undergo lysis, and plant cells undergo plasmolysis. Lysis occurs when a plant cell explodes due to too much pressure on the inside, and plasmolysis occurs when the vacuole of a plant cell shrinks away from the cell wall due to lack of water.


Why does cellular respiration only occur in plant cells?

it doesnt.


What is it called when a red blood cell bursts from a hypotonic solution?

When cell is placed in a hypertonic solution water moves out, first from cytoplasm and then from vacuole. Cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall. This is known as plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is when a protoplast of a plant cell starts to shrink due to water loss from the cell. This causes gaps between the cell wall and cell membrane.


What cell does photosynthesis occur in?

enoplasmic reticulum


What does not belong cleavage furrow cytokinesis spindle fiber cell plate?

Cleavage furrow.Cell plate formation only occurs in plant cells. Spindle fiber is found in plant cells and cytokinesis occurs in plant cells.Cleavage furrow doesn't occur in plant cells and is the only one not to.


What is the shrinking of a cell called?

A plasmolysis solution is the opposite of a hypotonic solution because in a plasmolysis solution the cell will shrink due to the little amount of water outside the cell and the greater amount of water inside the cell. A plasmolysis solution only occurs in plant cells.


In what part of a plant cell does photosynthesis occur?

in which part of a plant cell does photosynthesis occur


Why does endocytosis occur only in animal cells and not in plant cell?

The endocytosis only occurs in animal cells because plant cells don't have cell membranes they have cell walls. And the definition of endocytosis is " a process when a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicles to bring it to the cell." so a plant cell can't do that only animal cells can.


What organelle does photosythesis occur in?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.


Why are chloroplasts important to animal cells?

They're not important to animal cells because they're only in plant cells. They alow photosynthasis to occur. 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 +6O2


The place where light reactions occur in a plant?

it occurs in the chloroplast / stroma oh and light reactions can only occur in a plant and some protists because only plants and some protists can perform photosynthesis, and it is in this process which light reactions occur. other cells don't have chloroplast and stromas.


Do both plant and animal cells have chloroplasts?

No, both plant and animal cells do not have chloroplast. Plant cells have chloroplast that is why their leaves are green. Such as animals they do not. K.K
