When plant cells are exposed to salt water the process of dehydration occurs. The cells die as a result of the water that is pulled out during dehydration.

What are flaccid cells?
If too much water has been lost or not enough water is available, a plant will begin to wilt. When this happens the cells of a plant become flaccid.
What happens to stomata in saline solution?
The stomata are closed when exposed to saline solution or salt water. If a plant is exposed to the salty water it will become dehydrated and eventually die. Uness the plant is a type of mangrove or is salinity tolerant plant.
What happens to plant cells when you put salt water on them?
They simply die due to too much concentration of salt.
What is a process that changes the nature of cells?
When the plant eats. This changes the plant cells because, when the plant eats it absorbs what it eats which is water, if you were to look at a picture of a plant cell with water in it after the plant "eats" the water the plant cell looks like it has less liquid in it.
Plant cells that absorb water and nitrogen compounds?
root cells

What happens to the plant cells when pure water is added?
Because there is more salt in the plant cells, when they are placed in pure water (with no salt), water will move into the cells in an effort to balance the concentration inside the cell and out the cell. The plant cells will become enlarged with water and may burst. This is a way to make wilted celery to become like it did when it was bought.

Do plant cells contain any water?
Yes, plant cells contain plenty of water.
When water moves into a plant cell by osmosis the internal turgor pressure developed pushes on the wall. What does this do to your understanding of a neglected house plant?
the plant didn't get enough water and has wilted. the wilting happens because there isn't enough water in the cells to produce the turgor pressure to make the cells rigid
What happens to plant cells that are put in fresh water?
all it does is nothing really it just dies like osmosis
What happens to plant cells when you put salt water on them?
They simply die due to too much concentration of salt.
How do plant cells change after you water the plant?
Because they do not
What happens to water after a plant uses it Is it just gone forever?
Water helps a plant by transporting important nutrients through the plant. Nutrients are drawn from the soil and used by the plant. Without enough water in the cells, the plants droop, so water helps a plant to stand.
As a result of the plant reducing water losswhat other process will be slowed down?
If the process of water loss (transpiration) is reduced in plants, the process of water absorption will also be reduced. This happens to maintain an equillebrium in the plant cells.
