When a plant cell takes in water, it swells and becomes turgid due to the increased pressure within the cell. This turgidity helps support the plant structure and maintain its shape. Too much water uptake, however, can lead to bursting of the cell membrane in a process known as lysis.

What happens to plant cell in medium concentrated water?

if the plant cell is in concentrated water...it shrinks .i.e the water in plant cell flows out and hence the plant cell loses its turgidity and shrinks.this process is called exosmosis .

Question 7 text A cell wall stops a plant cell from taking in so much water that it will burst?

The cell wall provides structural support and helps maintain the shape of the plant cell. It acts as a barrier that regulates the movement of water and other molecules in and out of the cell, preventing it from taking in too much water and bursting.


What happens to a plant cell when the turgor pressure of a cell is high?

Absorbs more water by endoosmosis


What happens when plant is put into water?

If a plant cell is placed in fresh water, there will be a net movement of water into the cell - because the solute concentration inside the cell is greater than outside. This occurs because the system is attempting to reach equilibrium (where the concentrations inside and outside are equal). Unlike an animal cell, a plant cell will not burst when excess water enters the cell. This is because the cell wall helps the plant cell maintain its structure.


What happens when you submerge a plant cell and an animal cell in solutions with different water potential?

They both will eventually burst.


What happen when a plant loses water?

When a plant cell loses water it will undergo a condition called plasmolysis. This condition only happens in the extreme condition and rarely happens in the natural conditions.


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 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).


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.
