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).

Where does water enter the plant?

Water enters a plant through the roots. The roots absorb water from the soil through root hairs and transport it up through the stem to the rest of the plant.


Describe the pathway followed by a water molecule from the time it enters a plant root to the time it enters a plant root to the time it escapes into the atmosphere from a leaf?

A water molecule enters a plant root through specialized cells called root hairs and moves up through the xylem tissue, driven by capillary action and transpiration pull. It then flows through the stem and into the leaf where it exits the plant through tiny pores called stomata as water vapor, a process known as transpiration.


Does a stomata remove excess water from a plant?

Stomata do not remove excess water from a plant. Instead, they regulate the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as water vapor during transpiration. Excess water is primarily removed through transpiration via leaf surfaces.


What enters through the stomata light carbon dioxide or water?

Mainly Carbon dioxide enters. Some water can enter,but majority of water leaves through them


What is the name of the organelle that removes water from the organism in reference to osmosis?

The organelle that removes excess water from the organism in relation to osmosis is the contractile vacuole. It is commonly found in freshwater single-celled organisms to regulate their water balance by expelling excess water that enters the cell through osmosis.

How much water enters and leaves a cell?

As much as the plant needs. The excess water is thrown out.


What happens if excess fertilizer is applied without water to a plant?

you burn the plant and may even kill it


What is guttation?

Guttation is the process by which plants release excess water in the form of droplets through specialized structures called hydathodes. This usually happens at night when transpiration is low and root pressure is high. Guttation droplets can sometimes be mistaken for dew.


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.


How does excess water leave a plant?

xylem moves the water from the roots to the rest of the plant. on the underside of leaves there are tiny holes called 'stomata' and surrounding them are bands called 'guard cells.' the guard cells open and close the stomata and water and oxygen are released.


What is the contractile function?

It elimates excess water and undigested food from the protist.osmotic regulationIt stores excess water that enters the cell and after a stage expels it to it to the exterior.


What if you put excess water in a plant?

If you put excess water in a plant the plant will die because soil has space between them which contain air and if the pores are filled by water then the plant is receiving no air so automatically plant will die

what happens to the water after it travels up the stem and the leaves of a plant?

Water is broken down and used after it enters a plant. This water goes into photosynthesis and is used as fuel.


What is the transportation of a plant?

giving out excess of water as water vapour


What Water enters a plant cell through the?

Water enters a plant cell primarily through osmosis, a process where water molecules move across the selectively permeable cell membrane. This occurs through specialized proteins called aquaporins, which facilitate the rapid transport of water. As water enters the cell, it helps maintain turgor pressure, essential for the plant's structure and growth.


Most water enters a plant though which structures?

root hairs
