What are flaccid cells?
If too much water has been lost or not enough water is available, a plant will begin to wilt. When this happens the cells of a plant become flaccid.
How do plant cells react when they do not receive enough water?
Plant cells react in many ways. Because of its rigid structure, the plant cell will not just melt, it will just begin to cave in. For example... ------------------------------- I I I I I __________________I If this is the cell's structure, the top layer will cave in like this... ---\ /------- I \ / I I I I__________ You get my point!!!
Can animal cells become flacid?
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 causes a plant to droop?
tap water will cause a plant to droop because of the addititve such as flouride, rain water is best for plants If the plant is being underwatered it may also droop. Peace Lily's for example, will droop when they need to be watered.
Do the cells of a wilted plant have turgor pressure that is too high or too low?
Because water has moved out of the vacuoles, the pressure is not enough to hold the plant's leaves erect.

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)

Why is cell turgidity usefyl to plant?
Turgid plant cells mean that the organism has more than enough water, and this causes the cells to be in a hypotonic state. Plants that have enough water are generally healthier, and the turgid cells support the plant better. Furthermore, studies have shown that plant cells perform the best in a hypotonic state.
Why do trees become dead when you add salt to it?
Salt will draw out water from the cells of a plant or tree causing the cells to be dry and die. Enough salt in the right places can kill a tree.
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.
Why do plant cells have bigger valcules than animal cell?
Plant cells have bigger vacuoles filled with cell sap. When you water a plant, the water collects in the vacuole and makes it stiff. This is why plants wilt if they don't get enough water.
Why don't plant cells burst if a lot of water diffuse into them?
The plant's cell wall is tough enough to withstand the pressure that animal cells cannot

When water moves into a plant cell by osmosis the internal turgor pressure developed pushes on the wall. What does this do to your understanding of a neglected house plant?
the plant didn't get enough water and has wilted. the wilting happens because there isn't enough water in the cells to produce the turgor pressure to make the cells rigid
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.
Do water effect plant growth?
yes, water is important for plant growth. It provides nutrients for the plant, but too much water causes turgor pressure and that means that the plant's cells swell up. This is why too much water can kill a plant. Not enough water causes the plant's cells to shrink which can also cause death.
