What is hypertonic environment?
A hypertonic environment is one in which the concentration of solutes outside of a cell is higher than inside the cell. This concentration gradient causes water to move out of the cell, leading to the cell shrinking or shriveling up. It can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially be harmful to the cell.
Does each cell of a vascular plant have to absorb water from the environment?
no
A plant sell shrink from a lack of water what term describes the environment outside the cell?
The term that describes the environment outside the cell when a plant cell shrinks due to a lack of water is "hypertonic." In a hypertonic environment, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to move out of the cell and resulting in plasmolysis, where the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. This can lead to wilting and a decrease in turgor pressure within the plant.
What do the valcuole do?
In a plant cell a vacuole stores water. The membrane allows the passage of water into and out of the cell. The vacuole gets smaller if there is not enough water in the environment because its water is being used in the cell to keep the cell functioning normally.
In a hypo tonic solution will a cell gain or lose water or no net change?
The cell will not loose or gain water.An isotonic solution means that the amount of solutes outside the cell is similar or equal to the amount of solutes inside the cell. Water is moving by osmosis both in and out of the cell at equal rates; the net movement of water is zero.A cell will lose water in a hypertonic solution (more solute in the surrounding environment) and gain water in a hypotonic solution (more solute in the cellular environment). Whether or not a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic is relative to the environment in the cell.
What happen to cell if external environment has greater solute than internal environment of cell?
Water will leave the cell by facilitated diffusion and the cell will shrink and die.
Which of the statements best describes what will happen if a fresh water bacterias cell is put into a hypertonic salt water environment?
The bacterium's cell will lose water to the hypertonic salt water environment due to osmosis. This loss of water may cause the cell to shrink and become dehydrated, potentially leading to cell death.

How do you describe the osmotic environment when water rushes into the cell?
Wet
Does each cell of a vascular plant have to absorb water from the environment?
no
What happens if a plant cell contains more solutes than its surrounding environment?
A cell with a greater solute concentration in the external environment is hypertonic state. This means that water will be drawn out of the cell and into the external environment causing the cell to shrivel up.
What will influence the concentration of water and solutes in the internal environment of a cell?
Factors such as osmotic pressure, active transport mechanisms, and selective permeability of the cell membrane can influence the concentration of water and solutes in the internal environment of a cell. Additionally, external factors like the concentration of solutes in the surrounding environment can also impact the balance of water and solutes inside the cell.

If a cell lives in hypotonic environment what will happen if placed in hypertonic environment?
If a cell is used to living in a hypotonic environment, that means that there exists less solute concentration outside of the cell. Take, for example, a red blood cell (RBC). When the RBC is placed in distilled water, the RBC is hypertonic to the water. The water is hypotonic to the RBC. In this case, the RBC will swell, and in most cases rupture. However, if one were to put an RBC in very salty water, the RBC would be hypotonic to the salt water. The salt water would be a hypertonic environment. In this case, the water would diffuse out of the RBC, causing it to shrivel. Awigman

What is the ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell?
The ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell is isotonic, where the concentration of solutes inside the cell is the same as outside the cell. This prevents the cell from taking in too much water (bursting) or losing too much water (shriveling).
