eventually the cells will dry out and die

β 14y agothe cell will eventually get bigger and mabe start to suffer

β 11y agoExactly what you would expect to happen with a balloon being over filled with water. Eventually it will burst.

β 13y agothe cell would be hypotonic solution, a Cytolysis and it would burst.

β 9y agoThe same thing that happens to a balloon when you fill it up with too much water. The cell membrane is stretched too thin trying to contain the extra mass, and pops.

What happens when to much water moves into a cell?
When too much water moves into a cell it will burst and die.
What happens when a cell gains water?
If a cell gets to much water inside of it, it will burst.
What happens to animal cells in salt water?
Salt water is hypertonic (has more solute) to the cell. So when an animal cell is put in salt solution water will rush out and the cell will shrivel up because there is too much salt and too little water inside. the salt solution is said to be hypertonic to the cytoplasm of the cells.
What happens when the concentration of water molecules is greater outside a cell than inside?
There will be a net movement of water out of the cell, the cell will become shrunken. Water will move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
What happens to animal cells when too much water enters?
The cell will first begin to swell in size. And after a certain point it will break open (lyse) releasing it's contents into the surrounding area. This results in cell death.
What happens when to much water moves into a cell?
When too much water moves into a cell it will burst and die.
What happens if to much water is in a cell?
Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.
What happens when a cell gains water?
If a cell gets to much water inside of it, it will burst.
What are the effects of the uptake and loss of water in animal cells?
In pure water, or a weak salt solution; water moves into the cell. The cell wall then swells and bursts. This is due to the cell taking in too much water, so much so that it bursts. This is known as Lysis. In a medium salt or sugar solution there is no net movement of water. This is because the amount of water going into and out of the cell is equal. In a strong salt or sugar solution the water moves out of the cell. This mean the cell shrinks and shrivels and it has lost too much water so has shrivelled. This is known as crenation.
What will happen when water moves into a animal cell?
If too much water moves into an animal cell, the cell will grow large and eventually burst. This is not life-threatening though, in fact that's the reason you sometimes have wrinkly fingers after you've taken a long shower or bath.

Salt water is hypertonic (has more solute) to the cell. So when an animal cell is put in salt solution water will rush out and the cell will shrivel up because there is too much salt and too little water inside. the salt solution is said to be hypertonic to the cytoplasm of the cells.
What happens to the particles of a liquid as the liquid evaporatΔs?
it moves much much faster
What will happen if too much water moves out a cell?
It will Swell or shrink now, Osmisis is a speacial kind of diffusion and that it controls what comes in or out so DO NOT WORRY
What happens when the concentration of water molecules is greater outside a cell than inside?
There will be a net movement of water out of the cell, the cell will become shrunken. Water will move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
What happens when plant is put into water?
If a plant cell is placed in fresh water, there will be a net movement of water into the cell - because the solute concentration inside the cell is greater than outside. This occurs because the system is attempting to reach equilibrium (where the concentrations inside and outside are equal). Unlike an animal cell, a plant cell will not burst when excess water enters the cell. This is because the cell wall helps the plant cell maintain its structure.
What does the Archimedes water screw do?
It moves water, much like a pump.
Ethanol and animal cell tonicity?
nothin much happens
