Animal cells do not have rigid cell walls. When they are exposed to hypertonic solutions, water rushes out of the cell causing it to shrink.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoA cell placed in hypotonic solution will burst or split as a result of water entering into the cell which makes it continue to swell until it burst.

What is the ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell?
Hypotonic
A plant cell in a hypotonic environment?
Bursts in Animal cell But the cell walls and vacuoles protect it in a plant cell
Placing an animal cell in a hypotonic solution will cause water to?
move into the cell
What correctly describes the normal tonicity conditions for typical plant and animal cells?
The animal cell is in an isotonic solution, and the plant cell is in a hypotonic solution
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
What is the ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell?
Hypotonic
A plant cell in a hypotonic environment?
Bursts in Animal cell But the cell walls and vacuoles protect it in a plant cell
Which osmotic environment is best for plant cells?
A plant cell is best in a hypotonic environment
What do cell wall do for a cell?
maintain the cell shape and prevent the cell from burst when the surrounding environment is hypotonic
What happens to an isotomic cell when it is placed in a hypotomic environment?
isotonic and hypotonic
Which structure helps protect bacteria from a hypotonic environment?
cell wall
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.
Placing an animal cell in a hypotonic solution will cause water to?
move into the cell
3 types of environment that can be found outside of cell?
Hypertonic, Hypotonic, Isotonic
When a human red blood cells placed in a hypotonic environment it will?
When a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, it iwll undergo cytolysis, which basically means it will explode.
What correctly describes the normal tonicity conditions for typical plant and animal cells?
The animal cell is in an isotonic solution, and the plant cell is in a hypotonic solution
What are the 3 most common differences between plant and animal cells?
There are ALOT of differences. Depending on which grade you're in. Animal Cell - small vacuole Plant Cell - large vacuole (90% of cell) Animal Cell - Cell membrane Plant Cell - Cell membrane + cell wall Animal Cell - No chloroplasts Plant Cell - Chloroplasts Animal Cell - Funky shaped (any shape) Plant Cell - Rectangular Animal Cell - Hypotonic solution = bad Plant Cell - Hypotonic solution = good
