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 )
The outer covering of a cell that controls what enters and leaves is called the cell membrane. It acts as a barrier to regulate the passage of molecules and ions in and out of the 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).
The cell membrane acts as a barrier to control what enters and leaves the cell. It is selectively permeable, allowing certain substances to pass through while blocking others.
A cell controls what enters and leaves through its selectively permeable cell membrane. This membrane allows only specific molecules to pass in and out through various mechanisms like active transport, passive transport, and facilitated diffusion. Additionally, the cell may use protein channels or pumps to regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
When too much water enters a cell, it is known as cell swelling or cytolysis. This can occur due to osmosis, where water moves into the cell to try to equalize concentrations of solutes inside and outside the cell. If too much water enters, the cell can burst or undergo damage.
Water enters and leaves a plant cell through the process of osmosis. When the concentration of water inside the cell is higher than outside, water will move into the cell, and when the concentration is higher outside, water will leave the cell.
As much as the plant needs. The excess water is thrown out.
