When plant cells are exposed to salt water what happens to them?
When plant cells are exposed to salt water the process of dehydration occurs. The cells die as a result of the water that is pulled out during dehydration.
What happens to plant cells when you put salt water on them?
They simply die due to too much concentration of salt.
What type of tonicity will draw water from red blood cells or Elodea cells?
Salt/Salt Water
When the elodea leaf is moved from salt solution n placed back in water what happens to the cells?
When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).
Do plants like salt or sugar water?
Sugar water has some of the nutrients that is important in a plants life cycle. On the other hand, salt water, actually slowly kills the plant, therefore it has no nutrients that the plant absorbs and needs for a healthy lifestyle. But overall, tap water or filtered water are very good for a plant!
Explain why a carrot feels spongy after being soaked in salt water?
Water moves out of the carrot's cells and into the salt water due the difference in concentration of NaCl. This might account for the spongy-ness of the carrot

Will turgidity carrot cells in salt water increase or decrease?
Turgidity will decrease in salt water because water in the carrot will flow out in order to try to equalize the high concentration of salt.
Why does a carrot feel spongy after soaking in salt water?
This is due to the process of osmosis. The water in the cells of the carrot are trying to reach homeostasis with the salt water, so the water is flowing out of the cells. This results in cells that are limp and that then feel spongy.
What happens to your cells when you drink a lot of salt water?
You become dehydrated- water leaves the cells trying to dilute the salt water.
What happens when carrot is boiled and then placed in concentrated salt solution?
the cells are dead so the potato whould not perform any movement
When plant cells are exposed to salt water what happens to them?
When plant cells are exposed to salt water the process of dehydration occurs. The cells die as a result of the water that is pulled out during dehydration.
What happens to cells in saltwater?
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
When you add salt water to a carrot where is there a greater concentration of water molecules?
there is more water but not in the carrot and it isn't all fresh water but there is more water than salt
What happens to a fresh water fishes cells if put in a salt water aquarium?
Nothing...they die....
What happens to plant cells when you put salt water on them?
They simply die due to too much concentration of salt.
What happens to the cells when the salt water is flushed out with distilled water?
osmosis ocurs and water moves into the cell, expanding the membrane.
