Why does a plant like celery get limp when placed in hypertonic solution?
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
When a plant with flexible cell walls is placed in a hypertonic solution what happens?
The plant with flexible cell walls when placed in a hypertonic solution tends to grow larger in size by uptaking the solution by the principle of osmosis where molecules from higher concentration moves to a region of lower concentration and this happens in the cell through small minute pores present in the cell walls.
What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
How does being placed in a hypertonic solution affect a plant?
Being placed in a hypertonic solution causes water to move out of the plant cells by osmosis, leading to loss of turgor pressure and wilting of the plant. This can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to cell death if the plant is not able to recover by accessing more water.
How hypotonic and hypertonic solution can make a plant rigid and firm or make it wilt.?
it can make it wilt because there is no water in the cell which is hypertonic solutions.
Why did plant cells plasmolyze when immersed in a hypertonic solution?
Plant cells plasmolyze when immersed in a hypertonic solution when the cell wall detaches under high pressure causing water to be lost. The more solutes a cell has, the less water becomes available.
OBSERVING OSMOSIS IN PLANT CELLS?
You can observe osmosis in plant cells by placing a plant cell in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution and observing any changes in cell size and shape due to the movement of water. Hypertonic solution will cause cell to shrink (plasmolysis) and hypotonic solution will cause cell to swell. You can use a microscope to observe these changes in plant cells during osmosis.
How salt effects water?
Since salt water is hypertonic to the plant cell, the water would move into the hypertonic solution (extracellular) and out of the hypotonic plant cell. The cells would lose water and it would die.
What would happen to a plant cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?
The plant cell would lose water through osmosis and shrink in size due to the higher concentration of solutes in the hypertonic solution compared to the cell. This process is called plasmolysis, and it can lead to wilting of the plant cell.
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is plasmolysis
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.
