Plant cells need to remain in a turgid, or swollen, state. Wilted plants have lost this turgidity. Because plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall, they can maintain a higher water potential than animal cells. This allows them to conserve water for later use. Plants have evolved to function in this turgid state, and when their water potential drops their metabolism is effected.
What else can I help you with?
In what plant cell structure is water stored?
Water is stored in the vacuole of a plant cell.
What does a plant cell need to survive and grow?
A plant cell needs water, sunlight, carbon dioxide, and nutrients (such as minerals and sugars) to survive and grow. Water is crucial for maintaining the cell's structure and conducting essential processes, while sunlight is needed for photosynthesis, which produces energy for the cell. Carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis, and nutrients provide the cell with essential building blocks for growth and repair.
How does hypertonic affect an plant cell?
hypertonic means the cell has too much water, it's become water logged. In an animal cell the cell will rupture, however the cell wall of the plant cell with prevent this from happening and the plant cell with become swollen.
What stores water in a plant cell?
In a plant cell, the vacuole stores water as well as food. The central vacuole stores food and water, but also waste.
What kind of cell is a central vacuole found in?
A central vacuole is typically found in plant cells. It plays a key role in storing water, maintaining turgor pressure, and regulating cell growth. In mature plant cells, the central vacuole occupies a large portion of the cell's volume.
What does a plant cell need?
water and sunlight
A plant cell needs water when its?
they need water when they are dehydrated
Why does a plant cells need vacuole?
The vacuoles in a cell hold water for the cell
Why plant cell need uptaking water?
I just know, plant need water so that's it can become turgid. It help plant to diffuse out oxygen.
What does a plant cell need most to grow?
Water and sunlight
What plant cell organelles store water and helps support the cell?
vacoule is the plant cell organelle that stores water and helps to support the cell . Hence it is also known as ' storage bubble'. It also stroes food and a variety of nutrients that need for plant to survive.
Why does a plant need to conduct water?
Water needs to reach every cell in the plant- in a similar way to our blood needing to reach every cell in our body. capillary action draws water up the plant stem, and into the smaller channels in the leafs.
In what plant cell structure is water stored?
Water is stored in the vacuole of a plant cell.
What happens to plant cell in medium concentrated water?
if the plant cell is in concentrated water...it shrinks .i.e the water in plant cell flows out and hence the plant cell loses its turgidity and shrinks.this process is called exosmosis .
What plant cell organelle stores water and helps support the cell?
vacoule is the plant cell organelle that stores water and helps to support the cell . Hence it is also known as ' storage bubble'. It also stroes food and a variety of nutrients that need for plant to survive.
What happens when plant is put into water?
If a plant cell is placed in fresh water, there will be a net movement of water into the cell - because the solute concentration inside the cell is greater than outside. This occurs because the system is attempting to reach equilibrium (where the concentrations inside and outside are equal). Unlike an animal cell, a plant cell will not burst when excess water enters the cell. This is because the cell wall helps the plant cell maintain its structure.
What is the job of water molecules in a plant cell?
To bring about all metabolic activities in a plant cell water is essential.
