The cells of the elodea leaf becomes turgid... Remember that the distilled water is hypotonic to the cell and water will move in to the cell walls creating turgidity....Just like when you go to grocery store, the produce are always sprinkled with water...This is best for plants....

Are vacuoles in distilled water elodea leaf cells hypotonic isotonic?

If the vacuoles in Elodea leaf cells are placed in distilled water, they become hypotonic. Distilled water has a lower solute concentration compared to the vacuoles of the cells, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, leading to swelling and eventual bursting of the cells.

What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?

The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.


Why doesn't cytolysis happen in elodea?

Cytolysis does not happen in the elodea because of the concentration of its cells. The concentration that surrounds the cells are usually less concentrated and therefore prevent cytolysis from occurring.


Does elodea cell have chloroplast?

Yes, elodea cells have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, including those of the elodea plant. The green color of elodea leaves is due to the presence of chlorophyll in the chloroplasts.

yes


Is elodea made up of one cell or many cells?

Elodea is a multicellular organism.


What happens to the cells of an elodea leaf when mounted on 10 percent salt solution?

When an elodea leaf is mounted on a 10 percent salt solution, the cells of the leaf will lose water through osmosis. This will cause the cells to shrink and the leaf to become flaccid. The high salt concentration outside the cells will create a hypertonic environment, leading to water moving out of the cells to try to balance the concentration of solutes.
