Animal cell are hypertonic to the water i.e. they have more solute concentration inside the cell when placed in pure water. Now by the law solvent(water here) move from low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute so water move inside the animal cell which make cell to swell up and when the swelling pressure increase then wall pressure the cell get burst
What else can I help you with?
When the onion cell is placed in the pure water the size of the cell would be bigger after one hour but when you placed the cheek cell into the pure water it will burst why is that so?
An Onion cell as a contractile vacuole. This allows the cells to remover more water especially when placed into a hypotonic solution. An epithelial skin cell of the cheek does not have a contractile vacuole. The acess water cannot be stored, therefore the cell bursts.
What happens in a animal cell in pure water an why does this not happen in a plant cell?
It can possibly burst.
Do animal cell and plant cell get bigger in distilled water?
If animal cells are placed in distilled water they will absorb water by the process called osmosis. This will make the cell swell and, if it doen not stop, eventually burst. Plant cells placed in distilled water will also absorb water by osmosis but the cell wall prevents them from swelling. Water enters the cells by osmosis because the concentration of the solution inside the cells is higher than that of the 'solution' outside. Water always moves by osmosis from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution (when they are separated by a membrane which lets water through but not dissolved substances). For a good introduction to osmosis see: http://www.chaosscience.org.uk/pub/public_html//article.php?story=20050301222247333
What happens if a cell is placed in a pure water?
In this case the solution is hypotonic in relation to the cell. The cell swells up and ruptures as the water rushes in, and since the animal cell has no cell wall it cannot become turgid (stop letting in water), therefore the cell will rupture.
What would happen if you put liver cell in a hyptonic solution?
If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net movement of water into the cell and it will eventually burst. If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there will be a net movement of water out of the cell and it will shrink.
What happens to the cells when they are placed into distilled water?
When cells are placed in distilled water, they are exposed to a hypotonic environment, meaning the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside. As a result, water enters the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell. If the influx of water continues, the cells may eventually burst or lyse, especially if they lack a rigid cell wall, as in animal cells. Plant cells, on the other hand, may become turgid but usually do not burst due to their cell wall, which provides structural support.
Why are animal cells more likely to burst than plant cells when placed in distillers water?
Unlike animal cells, plant cells are unable to control the compostiton of fluid around their cell. Plant cells are normally permanetly bathed in almost pure water, which is constantly absorbed from the plants roots. Water entering a plant cell by osmosis causes the protoplast to swell and press on the cell wall. Because the cell wall is capable of only very limited expansion, a pressure builds up on it that resists the entry of further water. However animal cells do not have this ability and let constant water in, causing it to burst.
What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in distilled water?
because of osmosis it would get fatter and fatter with water till it burst. aww.
Why will the cell not burst?
animal cells do no burst because the semi permiable membrane lets little water in so the cell does not become turgid.

What will happen to an animal cell if placed in a concentrated solution?
when an animal cell is placed in a concentrated or diloute solution, it soakes up the water but because animal cell do not have cell walls like plant cells they will eventually burst.
What will happen to cells if they are left in distelled water?
If cells are placed in distilled water, they will undergo osmosis, where water moves into the cells due to a lower concentration of solutes outside compared to inside the cells. This influx of water can cause the cells to swell and potentially burst, a process known as lysis, particularly in animal cells. Plant cells may become turgid, which is beneficial for maintaining structure, but excessive water can also lead to cell damage.
A red blood cell placed in distilled water will swell and burst due to the diffusion of what?
3. water from the blood cell into its environment
Why would red blood cells burst if you placed them in pure water?
because red blood cells are blood and if they can disolve there for they will burt cause the blood has acid in it.
What happens in a animal cell in pure water an why does this not happen in a plant cell?
It can possibly burst.
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 don't plant cells burst if a lot of water diffuse into them?
The plant's cell wall is tough enough to withstand the pressure that animal cells cannot
