What mammalian cells?
Mammals including human are made up of very small cells called mammalian cells .These differ from plant cells by not having cell wall These are bounded by only plasma membrane so sensitive to osmotic lysis. Detailed structure of mammalian cell can be studied in detail
What is a an osmoticum?
Any substance that acts to supplement osmotic pressure in a plant or a culture of plant cells. An agent, such as PEG, mannitol, glucose or sucrose, employed to maintain the osmotic potential of a nutrient medium equivalent to that of the cultured cells (isotonic). Because of this osmotic equilibrium, cells are not damaged in vitro.
Does placing plant cells in a hypotonic solution causes the osmotic pressure to increase?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the osmotic pressure tends to increase as the water in the cells moves to a place elevated in solute concentration. The osmotic pressure is the chief cause of support in numerous plants.
What prevents a fungi cell from bursting?
Like plant cells, the cells of fungi contain a cell wall, a support structure which protects the cells in multiple ways including the prevention of cell lysis or the bursting of cells. Unlike plant cells, however, fungal cells are composed of chitin.
Plant cells undergo photosynthesis Which organelle does this process take place in?
Chloroplasts
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 mammalian cells?
Mammals including human are made up of very small cells called mammalian cells .These differ from plant cells by not having cell wall These are bounded by only plasma membrane so sensitive to osmotic lysis. Detailed structure of mammalian cell can be studied in detail
Can plant cells undergo osmosis?
no
Which osmotic environment is best for plant cells?
A plant cell is best in a hypotonic environment

Do plant cells have a larger vacuole than animal cells?
To maintain high osmotic potential
Does placing plant cells in a hypotonic solution causes the osmotic pressure to increase?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the osmotic pressure tends to increase as the water in the cells moves to a place elevated in solute concentration. The osmotic pressure is the chief cause of support in numerous plants.
Why do plant cells undergo both photosynthesis and respiration?
because plant cells are organism that can live through life
Are chloroplast in animal cells?
no. Chloroplasts are only in plant cells. chloroplasts are what makes the plant green.
What process do plant cells undergo to provide oxygen for all living things?
everything in the plant
