Submerged water plants have specialized structures that help regulate osmosis, such as cell walls and vacuoles filled with ions. These structures maintain a balance of water and solutes inside the cells, preventing them from swelling up and bursting. Additionally, these plants have adapted to the aquatic environment and evolved mechanisms to cope with osmotic challenges.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to cells in a hypotonic environment?
In a hypotonic environment, cells take in water via osmosis, causing them to swell and potentially burst if the cell wall is not strong enough to withstand the influx of water.
Significance of osmosis in unicellular organisms and plants?
Osmosis is important because some unicellular organisms are rather small and do not require intricate systems therefore it allows plants to easily take water from the soil by way of the roots making it simple and effective.
What are 2 examples of osmosis?
Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.
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
Does osmosis occur in dead cells?
if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
Do cells of your body burst due to osmosis inside our cell?
yes if it absorbs enough water
What does osmosis bring into the cells that helps with wilted plants?
Osmosis brings water into the cell which helps wilted plants recover from dehydration.
Why is osmosis important to cell function?
Osmosis is important to cell functions because it keeps the cell alive
What is the application of osmosis and difusion to plants and animals?
Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis and diffusion of water and gases is important for the inetercellular movement in plant and animal cells.
How do non vascular plants move water?
Through conducting cells by osmosis
How do non-vascular plants move water?
Through conducting cells by osmosis
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.
What is the bursting of red blood cells due to osmosis?
The bursting of red blood cells due to osmosis is known as hemolysis. This occurs when red blood cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, causing water to enter the cells and swell them until they burst. Hemolysis can happen if the concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than the concentration outside.

Why are animal cells easier to burst than plant cells?
Plants have cell walls. That's all I know. :) :P
What happens to the cells when the salt water is flushed out with distilled water?
When salt water is flushed out with distilled water, the concentration of salt outside the cells decreases. This creates a gradient that causes water to move into the cells through osmosis. As a result, the cells may swell and potentially burst due to the influx of water.
