When does plant wilting occur?
Plant wilting occurs after excessive loss of water by transpiration and lesser absorption by the roots. The deficiency of water in the cells make them flaccid and the plant wilts.
Does excessive transpiration cause wilting in plants?
Yes, excessive transpiration can cause wilting in plants. Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from a plant's leaves, and when this process occurs at a higher rate than the plant can absorb water from its roots, it can lead to dehydration and wilting.
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).
What happens when a plant is placed in a hypnotic solution?
It goes in a very... deep... sleep...

How do the changes in the conditions of the potato strips relate to the wilting of plants?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the water inside the cells are drawn out by osmosis. The vacuoles decrease in size. The cytoplasm also shrinks away from the cellulose cell wall and plasmolysis occurs. This causes a lack of structure for the plant and causes it to wilt, or become flaccid.

Yes, excessive transpiration can cause wilting in plants. Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from a plant's leaves, and when this process occurs at a higher rate than the plant can absorb water from its roots, it can lead to dehydration and wilting.
What is wilting?
Wilting refers to the loss of rigidity of non-woody parts of plants. This occurs when the turgor pressure in non-lignified plant cells falls towards zero, as a result of diminished water in the cells. The process of wilting modifies the leaf angle distribution of the plant (or canopy) towards more erectophile conditions. Lower water availability may result from: drought conditions, where the soil moisture drops below conditions most favorable for plant functioning; high salinity, which causes water to diffuse from the plant cells and induce shrinkage; saturated soil conditions, where roots are unable to obtain sufficient oxygen for cellular respiration, and so are unable to transport water into the plant; or bacteria or fungi that clog the plant's vascular system. Wilting diminishes the plant's ability to transpire and grow. Permanent wilting leads to plant death. Symptoms of wilting and blights resemble one another. In woody plants, reduced water availability leads to cavitation of the xylem. Wilting occurs in plants such as Balsam and tulasi.
Keeps a plant from wilting?
Osmosis A+
What happens to a wilted plant when watered?
it grows Edited answer: If the plant has reached the stage of permanent wilting it will not respond, in case of temporary wilting the plant will recover on watering.
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.

What happens when you add water to a wilting plant?
the plant blows up
What does reverse osmosis do?
When a plant is wilting (which is due to plasmolysis of plant cells caused by diffusion), water it and it would become a hypotonic solution. Water enter plant cells and this increases turgor pressure, enabling plants to be upright.
Does wilting of a plant occur as a result of facilitated diffusion?
if the soil around the roots of a plant lacks water or the rate of loss of water is faster than the rate of absorption of water,the cells in the plant will contain less water and fail to support the plant.the leaves and stems become soft and drop in a condition called wilting.

yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
