Will a plant cell burst if placed in a hypotonic solution?
The cells burst because the solution is diluted i.e.,the cell is more concentrated than the solution. So the cells gain water by osmosis and since animal cells have no cell wall they will fill with water until they become so stretched that they burst.
What happens to a plant cell if it is place in a hypotonic solution?
Osmosis works for any type of cell. Because of a lower concentration of solute inside the cell then out, the water would rush to where the solute is in an attempt to make it even. It would retain its shape because of its cell wall making it rigid which is absent in animal cells which is prone to swelling and making it burst.
Why does plant cell not burst under hypotonic condition?
A cell like a red blood cell will swell and burst because it only has a cell membrane which is a fluid structure. A bacterial cell will not burst because, while it has a cell membrane, it also has a cell wall outside of it which it much more rigid. The cell wall protects the bacteria from turgor pressure. In hypotonic solutions, most bacteria just become dormant.
What is in plant cells but not found in bacterial cells?
Plant cells have organelles such as chloroplasts and a large central vacuole that are not found in bacterial cells. Plant cells also have a cell wall made of cellulose, while most bacterial cells have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan.
How is a Bacterial cell different from an ordnary plant cell?
A bacterial cell is a simple, or prokaryote, cell. This means it has no nucleus or other cell organelles. A plant cell is a complex, or eukaryote, cell. Plant cells have organelles. Both cells have a cell wall. A bacterial cell is a simple, or prokaryote, cell. This means it has no nucleus or other cell organelles. A plant cell is a complex, or eukaryote, cell.

How will a plant cell respond differently than a animal cell?
It will not burst when placed in a dilute solution.
What is the difference between animal and plant cell in the distilled solution?
In a distilled solution an animal cell will swell and possibly burst. In a distilled solution the cell wall of the plant cell allows the plant cell to retain its shape.
Why the plant cell do not burst when placed in a dilute external medium?
Plant cells do not burst in a dilute external medium due to the presence of a rigid cell wall, which provides structural support and prevents excessive expansion. When placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to swell. However, the pressure generated inside the cell, known as turgor pressure, pushes against the cell wall, which keeps the cell intact and prevents it from bursting. This mechanism allows plant cells to maintain their shape and structural integrity.
Why don't plant cells burst when treated with penicillin?
The best i can do is: the cell walls are made from cellulose not peptidoglycan and penicillin interfers and weakens the peptidoglycan that makes up bacterial cell walls
If placed in a hypotonic solution a plant cell will?
No, because the plant cell contains a cell wall which causes the plant cell not to burst. But, it will gain water until it cannot take anymore and the pressure will prevent more water from entering.
Why plant cell does not burst if placed constantly in hypotonic solution?
well the cell walls prevent the cell from expanding but it does cause little damage to the cell wall
Will a plant cell burst if placed in a hypotonic solution?
The cells burst because the solution is diluted i.e.,the cell is more concentrated than the solution. So the cells gain water by osmosis and since animal cells have no cell wall they will fill with water until they become so stretched that they burst.
If a plant cell is in water will it burst?
NO.
What are some plant symptoms caused by bacteria?
Some plant symptoms caused by bacteria include watersoaking, bacterial lesions, bacterial spots and bacterial streaming.
What happens to animal cells when they are in dilute solution?
If a plant cell is kept in a dilute solution ( minimum number of solute ions, hypotonic solution), water will go into the cell where there is a higher concentration of ions. The cell will expand because of this and possibly lyse (break open). The cell wall usually protects the cell from breaking open though.
What happens to a plant cell if it is place in a hypotonic solution?
Osmosis works for any type of cell. Because of a lower concentration of solute inside the cell then out, the water would rush to where the solute is in an attempt to make it even.

Do bacterial plant and animal cells have walls?
only plant and bacterial cells have walls
