What are flaccid cells?
Flaccid cells are plant cells that lack turgor pressure, causing them to become limp and wilted. This can be due to a lack of water or a disruption in the osmotic balance within the cell. Flaccid cells can impact the overall structure and function of the plant.
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!!!
How osmosis keep plant stem rigid?
Osmosis moves water into the central vacuole which then presses against the cell wall to create turgor pressure, causing the plant stems to become rigid.
Why does a withering plant stand up when you give it water?
When a plant withers, it's usually due to dehydration or lack of water, causing its cells to lose turgidity and become limp. When you water the plant, the cells absorb the water and regain their turgidity, causing the plant to stand up again as the cells become firm and upright. This process is a result of the plant's ability to regulate water uptake and maintain its structural integrity.
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 are flaccid cells?
Flaccid cells are plant cells that lack turgor pressure, causing them to become limp and wilted. This can be due to a lack of water or a disruption in the osmotic balance within the cell. Flaccid cells can impact the overall structure and function of the plant.
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 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

A small plant will wilt if it doesn't have enough water in the what of it's cells?
Cell sap
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.
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?
If a neglected house plant does not receive enough water, it can lead to a decrease in turgor pressure within the plant cells. This can cause the plant to wilt as it loses structural support and becomes dehydrated. Regular watering helps maintain turgor pressure and keeps the plant healthy.
How osmosis keep plant stem rigid?
Osmosis moves water into the central vacuole which then presses against the cell wall to create turgor pressure, causing the plant stems to become rigid.
