∙ 11y ago
When a cell is placed in water , there is a possibilty of 2 processes to occur :
1. Exosmosis - IF the water has more osmotic concentration than the cytoplasm hypertonic medium )
2. Endosmosis - If the water has less osmotic concentration than the cytoplasm (hypotonic medium )

How does a cell control what enters and leaves?
The cell membrane enables a cell to control what enters and leaves. The membrane has a selective semi-permeable membrane which facilitate this process.
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 part of the cells acts as a barrier t ocontrol what enters and leaves the cell?
