it will eventually burst
What else can I help you with?
What happens in a animal cell in pure water an why does this not happen in a plant cell?
It can possibly burst.
What happens to a animal cell when placed in an hypertonic solution?
In a hypertonic solution water is most likely to move out of the cell because it is in a high concentration and the cell will shrink. They tend to give up water across the permiable cell membrane
Why would osmosis cause an animal cell to burst?
If the water potential outside a cell is higher than that inside a cell, water will move into the cell through the cell membrane by osmosis. The animal cell, unlike a plant cell, does not have a cell wall, which would prevent the cell bursting as it is rigid and holds the cell structure. The cell membrane of the animal cell is not strong enough to keep the shape of the cell when there is such an increase in pressure from water inside the cell, and the cell bursts.
What happens to a animal cell when in a hypertonic solution?
A hypertonic solution is less concentrated compared to the cytoplasm of the animal cell. When an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water diffuses across the selectively permeable cell membrane in an attempt to form an equilibrium between the two liquids. If the solution is hypertonic enough compared to the cell's cytoplasm, the cell would swell and could possibly explode.
What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).
What happens to a plant cell that does not have enough water?
it dies
What happens when water continually enters an animal cell?
due to hypo-osmosis cell breaks
What happens when you submerge a plant cell and an animal cell in solutions with different water potential?
They both will eventually burst.
What happens to animal cell in a solution with high water potential?
Animal cells lack rigid cell wall. When an animal cell is placed in a solution with high water potential, the wanter enters the cell as cell membrane is freely permeable to water. As a result of continuously increasing water potential inside the cell, Cell membrane bursts and the cell is said to be lysed.

If a plant does not get enough water what happens to the cell wall?
When a plant does not get enough water, the cell wall loses turgor pressure, causing it to become flaccid. This can lead to wilting of the plant. Continued lack of water can eventually lead to cell death and damage to the cell wall.
What happens to the cells of a young animal cell as it grows?
The cell grow bigger
What happens to a animal cell when in a hypertonic solution?
A hypertonic solution is less concentrated compared to the cytoplasm of the animal cell.

If the solution is hypertonic enough compared to the cell's cytoplasm, the cell would swell and could possibly explode.
Why do plant cells have bigger valcules than animal cell?
Plant cells have bigger vacuoles filled with cell sap. When you water a plant, the water collects in the vacuole and makes it stiff. This is why plants wilt if they don't get enough water.
What does the cell membrane do on a plant cell?
it lets authorized objects in and out of a plant cell; this also happens in a animal cell.
