What else can I help you with?
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What is the equivalent process to plasmolysis in an animal cell called?
The equivalent process to plasmolysis in an animal cell is called crenation. Crenation occurs when an animal cell shrinks and shrivels due to water leaving the cell, resulting in a decrease in cell volume.
What is the proper term for a shriveled animal cell?
In plants this is known as being plasmolyzed when the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall.
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.
All cell placed in a solution shrinks by the procee of osmosis?
When a cell is placed in a solution with a higher solute concentration than the cell's cytoplasm, water will move out of the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to shrink or plasmolyze. This occurs because water moves from an area of high concentration (outside the cell) to an area of low concentration (inside the cell), leading to a decrease in the cell's volume.

What happens when salt is added to a animal cell?
it shrinks and if u add salt to a plant cell it explodes (this view is awsome)
What is plasymolysis?
Plasmolysis is the process in which a plant cell loses water and shrinks away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution. This can cause the cell membrane to separate from the cell wall.
What is the equivalent process to plasmolysis in an animal cell called?
The equivalent process to plasmolysis in an animal cell is called crenation. Crenation occurs when an animal cell shrinks and shrivels due to water leaving the cell, resulting in a decrease in cell volume.
Shape and size of red blood cell when put in slty solution?
A red blood cell when placed in salty solution shrinks and becomes wrinkled.
What is a solution that neither shrinks nor swells a cell?
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will not shrink or swell. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes within the cell. Since both concentrations are the same, no water flows in or out of the cell due to osmotic pressure.

How will a plant cell respond differently than a animal cell?
It will not burst when placed in a dilute solution.

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 is it called when it causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
CRENATION An animal cell shrinks by crenation when it is placed in a hypertonic solution (the solution has more "stuff" in it than the cell.) The water from the cell moves out to the solution in an attempt to equilibrate the concentrations. In so doing, it shrivels and becomes CRENATED. Conversely, an animal cell expands and bursts in a process called LYSIS. Opposite to crenation this occurs in a hypotonic solution. Water from the solution moves into the cell in an attempt to equilibrate. The internal pressure becomes to great and the cell lyses.
