Animal cells do not become flaccid. Flaccid is a term to describe plant cells when not enough water is available. The cell membrane shrinks and pulls away from the cell wall, causing the plant to look wilted. Animal cells do not have cell walls and therefore, even under hypotonic or dehydrated conditions, are not referred to as being flaccid.
What else can I help you with?
What is flacid?
Flaccid is a term that describes a flabby, soft or limp state of something, typically referring to muscles or body tissues lacking normal firmness or stiffness. In medical terminology, it can also pertain to an organ or body part that is not rigid or erect as expected.
What are some differcen between animal and plant cells?
Animal cells have centrioles and lysosomes, while plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not. Plant cells also have a large central vacuole, which is typically smaller or absent in animal cells.
Is an ant made of plant cells or animal cells?
An ant is made of animal cells. Ants are insects, which are part of the animal kingdom. Plant cells are found in plants, not in animals.
Are there any organelles that are found in animal cells but not in plant cells?
Lysosomes are found in animal cells but not plant cells.
How are plants and animal cells different?
Plants cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, which animal cells do not have. Plant cells also have a large central vacuole, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles or none at all. Additionally, plant cells can produce their own food through photosynthesis, while animal cells rely on external food sources.
Why is the potatoes soaked in concentrated salt solution becomes flaccid?
The potatoes become flacid because the salt water drins out the moisture from the cells of the potatoes. This process is called exo-osmosis . The cells lose their turgidity and hence the potatoes become flacid :)
What makes humans be considered animalias?
There are two types of cells. Plant cells, and animal cells. Just because people have animal cells, we are not animals. People are also too narrow of a group to become an own organism group.
What rhymes with placid?
AcidAcid, flacid.
What happens to both plant and animal cells when they are placed into a solution that is hypotonic?
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid
How are animal and plant cells different when become two cells?
Animal and plant cells are different because the plant cell has everything that the animal cell has, but the animal cell doesn't have everything that the plant cell has, in terms of the animal cell not having the cell membrane and the chloroplast.
Do plant and animals cells have a vacuole?
Plant cells have vacuoles that can become large when filled with water and other waste or stored material. Animal cells do not contain vacuoles.
Why are cheek cells animal cells?
All the cells collected from an animal of which the human body is are animal.
How are animal cells from plant cells?
Animal cells are different from plant cells in that the cell wall of animal cells is not made up of cellulose.
Is centrioles in plant or animal cells?
Animal cells, not plant cells.
How would you monitor the effect of different salt concentrations on potatoes?
This is an exercise used to show the osmosis process, and can also be used to determine the salt content of the potato. Each time you put a slice of potato into a different concentration of salt water, you would need to check the feel of it before and after to see if it has become 'flacid' (having lost water the potato cells become flacid or floppy), or if the potato has swollen up. If the potato has lost water, this means that there is more salt outside the potato cells than in it, if it gains water then there is more salt inside the cells than in them, and if it stays the same- you have found the concentration of salt in your potato. Osmosis states that molecules will attempt to even out the osmotic gradient. For example if you get a saucer of water and place a teaspoon of sugar in the centre of the water then let it sit for a number of hours, when you come back the sugar should have diffused throughout the water so there is an equal amount of sugar throughout the solution. In cells, this process is used constantly to maintain the balance of molecules in the body. In the case of the potatoes; the cells can only take in a certain amount of water before they become plasmaloysed and cannot take anymore water, they can also on lose a certain amount of water and are flacid.
What are two differences cells and animal cells?
plant cell shave a cell wall - animal cells do not plants cells have chlorophyll - animal cells do not
How are animal cells different from plant cells-?
Animal cells are different from plant cells in that the cell wall of animal cells is not made up of cellulose.
