Which type of cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic?
Animal cells will burst (lyse) first in a hypotonic solution because they lack a cell wall.
Why can a plant cell swell more than an animal cell?
plant cells have cell walls so when they are turgid, they can support the stem, leaves ect. better and not burst. When animal cells are "swollen", their cell membranes burst because they don't have a cell wall to support it.
