Vinegar is an acid that will break down the cell wall of the, onion cell. This could potentially break down the entire cell itself. This is why the cell will appear to have holes in it.

When the onion cell is placed in the pure water the size of the cell would be bigger after one hour but when you placed the cheek cell into the pure water it will burst why is that so?
An Onion cell as a contractile vacuole. This allows the cells to remover more water especially when placed into a hypotonic solution. An epithelial skin cell of the cheek does not have a contractile vacuole. The acess water cannot be stored, therefore the cell bursts.
What happens to the pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
What is the cell of onion peel?
The cell of an onion peel is a plant cell. The cells of the onion peel do not have chloroplasts because the onion bulb (white part) grows under ground and its cells do not carry out photosynthesis.
What happens to the provirus when the host cell reproduces?
When the cell reproduces, the provirus is copied as part of the chromosome. The virus chromosome is placed into the host cell's.
What would happen to red onion cell if sucrose solution added?
In a hypotonic solution like distilled water the onion cell would "swell up" and the cytoplasm expands and water diffuses into the cell
What would most likely happen to a onion cell of it were placed in a liquid with a concentration of solutes?
In a hypotonic environment, an onion cell will fill up with water. Hypotonic refers to a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than the solution you're comparing it to.

What would most likely happen to an onion cell if it were placed in a liquid with an high concentration of solutes?
The cell will lose water and shrivel.
What happens when half an onion is dipped into alcohol?
What happens is the alcohol starts to shred the onion. Next alcohol is soaked up inside the onion which starts to make the onion shrink. The cell can't take the acid that goes in it shrinks and dissolves.
Why do onion cells not rupture when placed in distilled water?
Because plant cells have a rigid cell wall
What happens to a cell when is placed in a hypersonic solution?
The cell expands/gets bigger.
What is a description of Onion cell?
describe onion cell
What happens when a bacterial cell is placed in 10 percent Nacl with penicillin?
The cell will plasmolyze.
What happens when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?
Nothing. There would be no gradient between the cell and the solution.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
How do you think the response of an animal cell would be different from the response of the onion cells?
the animal cell is in the animal and the onion cell is in the onion
What happens to an isotomic cell when it is placed in a hypotomic environment?
isotonic and hypotonic
