What else can I help you with?
Where are certain chemicals placed on plant cells and begin to change shape and become less rigid?
Certain chemicals, such as auxins and gibberellins, are placed on the cell walls of plant cells, initiating a process called cell elongation. These chemicals promote the activation of enzymes that break down the cell wall components, making the cell walls less rigid. As a result, the plant cell can expand and grow in size.
Does a animal cell have a cell membrane?
Yes, they both do. The cell membrane is their to allow different liquids in and out. The cell wall, however, is only found in the plant cell, to support and protect the cell. Since the animal cell does not have a cell wall, the cell membrane also serves as support and protection.
What is turgidity in osmosis?
"Turgidity" means stiffness. When plant cells absorb water, they press against their cell walls,. becoming very stiff, much like a balloon that is inflated to almost popping (if the cell wall weren't there, the cells WOULD pop). This stiffness takes the place of a plant's skeleton.
When water leaves a plant cell the osmotic pressure will increase of decrease?
When water leaves a plant cell, the osmotic pressure inside the cell will increase because there will be a higher concentration of solutes relative to water. This increase in osmotic pressure leads to plasmolysis, where the cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall.
What does HCl do when using it in mitosis?
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is commonly used to breakdown the cell wall in plant cells during the preparation of slides for mitosis observation. By softening the cell wall through acid treatment, it allows for better visualization of the individual cells undergoing mitosis under a microscope.
Do plant cells have a cell wall instead of the plasma membrane?
Yes because the cell membrane is needed to regulate the flow of material in and out of the cell.Also, when the plant cell requires to undergo plasmolysis, the cell membrane enables the process, because it is not rigid.
What is a outer supportive structure of a plant cell?
The cell wall is the outer supportive structure of a plant cell. It provides rigidity and support to the cell, helping the plant maintain its shape and structure. The cell wall is made up of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate that gives strength to the cell.
Why do plant cells have a cell wall and animal cell does not?
Becuse plant cells need structure and the cell wall gives it that and it also gives it a defined shape and animals have spines instead so it is not needed/used.
Is a cell wall a plant cell?
No, a cell wall is just something inside of a plant cell.
Is there a cell wall in an animal and plant cell?
No only the diatom (plant cell) has a cell wall
What is the rigid outermost layer of the plant cell?
The cell wall surrounds plant cells.
Is a cell wall found in a plant cell or in a animal cell?
Cell wall is found in a plant cell.
Is a cell wall in a plant cell and an animal cell?
No only the diatom (plant cell) has a cell wall
What is a plant cell wall?
All plant cells have cell wall.
What plant is a cell wall in?
All plant cells have cell wall.
Is no cell wall a plant cell or an animal cell?
an animal cell DOES NOT have a cell walla plant cell DOES have a cell wall
What plant cell has a cell wall?
Plant cells have a cell wall composed primarily of cellulose. This rigid structure provides support and protection for the plant cell. The cell wall is located outside the cell membrane.
