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 Carrot cells in salt water?
Carrot cells in salt water shrink in size
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!
When does loss of turgor happen?
Turgor would be lost when a plant loses water. Salt water can cause water to move out of plant cells and the plant would wilt.
What happens to stomata in saline solution?
The stomata are closed when exposed to saline solution or salt water. If a plant is exposed to the salty water it will become dehydrated and eventually die. Uness the plant is a type of mangrove or is salinity tolerant plant.
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 the plant cells when pure water is added?
Because there is more salt in the plant cells, when they are placed in pure water (with no salt), water will move into the cells in an effort to balance the concentration inside the cell and out the cell. The plant cells will become enlarged with water and may burst. This is a way to make wilted celery to become like it did when it was bought.
What happens to Carrot cells in salt water?
Carrot cells in salt water shrink in size
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.
How does salt water affect the plant growth?
The higher the amount of salt in the soil outside of the plant cells causes water to move outside of the plant cells to try and equalize the all the concentration. Root cells die and, if bad enough, the plant will die. The damage that the salt water gives, makes the plant get a burnt look,often on the leaf edges first.

Does mixing salt into a cut flowers water affect how long it live?
Yes. It actually shortens the plant life. The water in the plant will diffuse into the salt water. This means that the water that the plant cells use is drained down into the salt water because the salt can not pass through the plant which leaves the plant to die faster
What will happen if put plant cell in salty water?
Salt draws water from plant cells. This causes the cells to dehydrate and the plant to shrivel up and die.
What happens to a plant that has been sprinkled with salt water?
it dies
What happens to cells in saltwater?
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
What will happen to the cells of a fresh water plant when put in salt water?
It would die.
What would happen to a salt water plant if you put in fresh water and why?
The plant is most likely to die because the salt water already killed the root cells. It also depends on the concentraition of the plant. some plants are very sensitive when fresh water is placed in ONLY salt water plants
