Cell lysis occurs more easily in animal cells than in plant cells because animal cells lack a rigid cell wall like plant cells do. The absence of a cell wall in animal cells makes them more susceptible to bursting under osmotic pressure changes or when exposed to external stressors. Plant cells are protected by their rigid cell walls, which provide structural support and help prevent cell lysis.
What else can I help you with?
Name 2 things that a plant cell has that an animal cell does not have?
A plant cell has a cell wall made of cellulose for structure and support, while an animal cell does not. Plant cells also have chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs, which are not present in animal cells.
Is metaphase a plant cell or animal cell?
Metaphase is found in both plant and animal cell division
What is it called when a animal cell swells and bursts when entering water?
The process is called osmotic lysis. This occurs when a cell takes in too much water due to a hypotonic environment, causing it to swell and eventually burst.
A plant cell in a hypotonic environment?
In a hypotonic environment, a plant cell will swell due to water flowing into the cell by osmosis. This can cause the cell to become turgid, which is important for maintaining turgor pressure and structural support in plant cells. If the cell takes in too much water, it may burst, a process known as lysis.
What is it called when animal cells burst?
When animal cells burst it's called lysis.
Can animal cells undergo plasmolysis?
Animal cells undergo lysis, and plant cells undergo plasmolysis. Lysis occurs when a plant cell explodes due to too much pressure on the inside, and plasmolysis occurs when the vacuole of a plant cell shrinks away from the cell wall due to lack of water.
What does not occurs in plant cell mitoses but does in animal cell mitosis?
Does not form a cell wall
What occurs in both plant and animal?
Animal and plant cells both have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and a nucleus.
What solution does crenation occur in?
Crenation occurs in a hypertonic solution, where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to leave the cell, leading to shrinkage and deformation of the cell.

Is cell wall in a plant or animal or both?
A cell wall occurs in only plants. The cell membrane, however, occurs in both plants and animals
Lysis in tap water animal cell versus plant cell?
When an animal cell is placed in tap water, it would usually expand to such an extent (filling up with tap water molecules) that lysis occurs (i.e. the bursting/breaking open of the cell). This is due to the differences in water concentration between the inside and outside of the cell (and hence osmotic pressures) - water moves by osmosis across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration [in this case the tap water moves across the animal cell membrane into the cell] Because of the lack of membrane support present in an animal cell (i.e. no cell wall providing support), once the water from outside has filled up the animal cell to a certain extent, lysis will occur and the contents of the cell will disperse, no longer held in by a membrane. However, in a plant cell, which has a rigid cell wall made of cellulose as well as a cell membrane, when water moves into the cell by osmosis, lysis will not occur because of the turgor pressure built up against the cell wall. In a hypotonic solution (e.g. tap water), a plant cell is under its best conditions. The cell is turgid - filled with the maximum amount of water, and the cell wall prevents lysis from occurring. (e.g. putting a stick of limp celery in tap water will not result in the contents of the celery breaking apart everywhere, but instead, the water from outside will fill the celery causing it to be crisp - due to osmosis)
What is the rupture of plasma membranes called?
The rupture of plasma membranes is called cell lysis. This occurs when the membrane is compromised, leading to the release of cell contents into the surrounding environment.
What is it called when a animal cell swells and bursts when entering water?
The process is called osmotic lysis. This occurs when a cell takes in too much water due to a hypotonic environment, causing it to swell and eventually burst.
How is animal cells different from plant cell?
well the animal is different from a plant cell because a plant cell have a cell wall, & chloroplast and the animal cell does not
Why does endocytosis occur only in animal cells and not in plant cell?
The endocytosis only occurs in animal cells because plant cells don't have cell membranes they have cell walls. And the definition of endocytosis is " a process when a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicles to bring it to the cell." so a plant cell can't do that only animal cells can.
