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!!!

∙ 12y agoWater in plant cells influences the amount of turgor pressure. If the plant has enough water, the cells are turgid, or firm. If the plant loses water, however, the cells become flaccid (limp or wilted) in a process called plasmolysis in which the cell's protoplast shrinks and pulls away from the cell wall.

Body cells that react to particular hormone are called?
target cells
How does a plant cell fight osmosis in a hypotonic solution?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water - and a hypotonic solution means it expands. a plant cell sap has a lower water potential causing the water to enter the cell - it does not fight osmosis, it works with it.
How do plant cells capture and store energy?
The cells have tiny organelles called Chloroplasts that react to sunlight and create energy that combines with glucose and then becomes stored in the Large Central Vacuole to be used at a later time by the mitochondria which breaks down the compounds and releases the energy.
How do plant cells react when they are placed in an environment with lower water concentration than inside of the cell?
The cells of a plant change shape depending on the availability of water. The cells and plant take measures to reduce the amount of water loss through their stomata and conserve the water they currently have.
In what important function are the cells in your eyes involved?
Retinal cells are photo-receptor cells, meaning they are the cells that react to reflections of light. The two main types are rods (which are specially structured to sense differences in light and react to low levels of light) and cones (which are structured to react to different colors and work best in high levels of lights). So basically, you wouldn't perceive anything (you'd be blind) without these light detecting cells.
What are the nerve cells that react to gases?
Olfactory nerve cells
What are response cells?
Response cells are cells that respond to the immune system and react to diseases.
How do human cells react when an influenza cell attacks?
They react by producing interferons.
How do plant organs such as leaves respond when deprived of water?
They react the same as your cells or organs do when deprived of water. They suffer from dehydration. They will do their best to survive, but if water is not supplied, they will wither and die.

the cytoskeleton just maintains the cells shape it doesn't react with the nucleolus

Why do some plant materials change color in the presence of acidic or basic substances?
This is how they react to the substances. Sometimes the substances that are inside the plant will react in an unusual way with the substance.
