The plant's cell wall is tough enough to withstand the pressure that animal cells cannot
What else can I help you with?
What do plant cells have that prevent them from swelling after an intake of too much water?
When a plant cell is full of water. It will get ready to burst. But if it tries to burst it will not. Because of something that a plant cell has. It is a Cell Wall.
What is the effect of salt on plants?
Salts will cause water to diffuse out of plant vacuoles, leading their cells to become flaccid. Thus, the plant will wilt.
What happens to the plant cells when pure water is added?
Because there is more salt in the plant cells, when they are placed in pure water (with no salt), water will move into the cells in an effort to balance the concentration inside the cell and out the cell. The plant cells will become enlarged with water and may burst. This is a way to make wilted celery to become like it did when it was bought.
What would happen to a jellyfish if it were placed in a freshwater lake?
Water would diffuse into the cells of the jellyfish, causing it to bloat up and possibly burst.
Effect of hypotonic?
A hypotonic solution (meaning the salt concentration is lower outside the cell than it is on the inside) will effectively burst your cells due to the water rushing in to diffuse in the salt in your cells.
What happens to purple onion skin cells when tap water is added?
When tap water is added to purple onion skin cells, the cells will undergo osmosis. Water will move into the cells, causing them to swell and potentially burst if too much water is absorbed. The purple color of onion cells may also diffuse into the surrounding water.
Why are animal cells more likely to burst than plant cells when placed in distillers water?
Unlike animal cells, plant cells are unable to control the compostiton of fluid around their cell. Plant cells are normally permanetly bathed in almost pure water, which is constantly absorbed from the plants roots. Water entering a plant cell by osmosis causes the protoplast to swell and press on the cell wall. Because the cell wall is capable of only very limited expansion, a pressure builds up on it that resists the entry of further water. However animal cells do not have this ability and let constant water in, causing it to burst.
What substances diffuse into and what diffusen out of cells?
The substances flow from high concentration to low concentration through channels found in the cell membrane. Basically like a bridge.
If a plant cell is in water will it burst?
NO.
Will a plant cell burst if placed in a hypotonic solution?
The cells burst because the solution is diluted i.e.,the cell is more concentrated than the solution. So the cells gain water by osmosis and since animal cells have no cell wall they will fill with water until they become so stretched that they burst.
Does mixing salt into a cut flowers water affect how long it live?
Yes. It actually shortens the plant life. The water in the plant will diffuse into the salt water. This means that the water that the plant cells use is drained down into the salt water because the salt can not pass through the plant which leaves the plant to die faster
Will plant cells burst if a lot of water moves into the cell?
Atleast in Phylum Ciliophora - unicellular, heterotrophic, protist, 'animal-like,' surface covered by cilia - it has a contractive vacuole that helps. The fresh water goes into the cell and the contractile vacuole squeezes the water out again, otherwise, it would explode. I am not a teacher or an expert on this, but I do have an exam on all of the Phylums of Kindom Protista in my Biodiversity class tomorrow, so I'm pretty well researched on this.
