A typical animal cell when places into fresh water will absorb so much of the water that it will burst. A plant cell will simple become turgus as the cell membrane expands to completely will the cell wall.

What happens when plasmolysed spirogyra filament is put in water?

When a plasmolysed Spirogyra filament is put in water, the cell membrane will rehydrate and regain its original shape. The water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to become turgid again. This process is known as deplasmolysis, where the protoplast swells and pushes the cell membrane against the cell wall.


What will happen if you put coloured water in a animal cell?

If you put colored water in an animal cell, the cell will swell due to water intake, but the colored water will not affect the cell's function or structure. The colored water will eventually diffuse out of the cell, returning it to its original state.


What happens to a palisade cell when put in a dilute glucose solution?

When a palisade cell is placed in a dilute glucose solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell and possibly burst if the solution is too hypotonic. This process is due to the higher concentration of water outside the cell compared to inside, leading to water moving down its concentration gradient into the cell.


What happens to a cell in a isotonic solution?

the plasma membranes water flows at an equal rate. animal cells function the best in an isotonic environment. in an isotonic environment the blood cells stay normal and do not get lyced (which happens in hypotonic environments) and they do not shrivel (which happens in hypertonic environments).


What happens if a cell is dropped into a container of pure water?

If a cell is dropped into pure water, water will enter the cell by osmosis. This can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst due to the increased pressure within the cell.

What happens when you put a cell in salt water and why?

The inside of a cell and the outside of the cell are usually in equilibrium as far as salt is concerned. Water always follows salt.If the outside has more salt, then water will follow it outwards. The cell will lose water and become shriveled.


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 put a egg in salt water?

The egg should have its water or substance in the egg come out through the cell membrane. :)

What happens to a blood cell in a sodium solution?

If a blood cell is put into a high sodium solution it will become crenated (shrivel up). Water will flow out of the cell into the solution. If it is put in a low sodium solution it will absorb water/expand outward. If the sodium concentration of the blood cell and outside environment are the same, nothing will happen.


What happens if vacuole in a plant cell no longer filler with water?

the cell won't have water when it is needed


What happens if to much water is in a cell?

Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.

it shrinks


What happens if a cell has lost water?

it dies
