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.
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell and collects in?
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
What is deplasmolysis?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution then plant cell gains water by osmosis there is swelling of the contents of the cell away from the cell wall ,this phenomenon is known as deplasmolyzis
Bursting of a red blood cells in hypotonic solution?
That is not a question.Blood cells burst in hypotonic solutions because there is no equilibrium. therefore, since the solution outside of the blood cell is at a higher concentration, the solution will flow into the blood cell ( high to low concentration) and cause the cell to expand. The blood cell will burst if too much solution enters the cell.
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
What happens to plant cells when placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.
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.
What happens to a cell when it is placed in a medium containing distilled water?
As you know,distilled water is a kind of hypotonic solution which means it comprises more water.If you place an animal cell into an hypotonic solution,the cell swells and finally becomes burst because of not having a rigid cell wall.Nevertheless,if you place a plant cell an hypotonic solution,it can resist the osmotic pressure due to having a rigid cell wall.As,cell wall serves turgor pressure,it assists cell not to swell and burst

What would happen if a plant was placed in hypotonic solution?
Nothing would happen to the plant. It will have a normal growth provided other parameters are normal.
Why does it matter if the root is in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution?
The tonicity of a solution matters because it affects the movement of water into or out of the root cells. If the root is in a hypertonic solution, water will tend to leave the root cells, leading to dehydration. In a hypotonic solution, water will enter the root cells, potentially causing them to swell and burst. Both scenarios can impact the root's ability to absorb nutrients and carry out essential functions for the plant.
How will a plant cell respond differently than a animal cell?
It will not burst when placed in a dilute solution.
What happens to both plant and animal cells when they are placed into a solution that is hypotonic?
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid
What happen if cell is placed in hypotonic solution?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypo tonic solution it undergoes endosmosis thus the cell becomes turgid but in case of animal cell due to the absence of cell wall the cell may not withhold the turgour pressure and might blast.

So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
A plant cell bursts in a hypotonic solution because water enters the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell. The increased water uptake in a hypotonic environment creates pressure on the cell wall, eventually leading to bursting.
