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.
Wilting of a plant occurs when placed in what solution?
Wilting of a plant occurs when it is placed in a hypertonic solution, where the concentration of solutes outside the plant's cells is higher than inside. This causes water to leave the cells through osmosis, leading to a loss of turgor pressure and resulting in wilting. Conversely, if placed in a hypotonic solution, the plant may swell and become turgid.
Why does a plant get limp when placed in a hyper-tonic solution?
A plant becomes limp in a hypertonic solution because water moves out of its cells through osmosis, where water travels from an area of lower solute concentration (inside the plant) to an area of higher solute concentration (the hypertonic solution). This loss of water leads to a decrease in turgor pressure, which is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall, causing the plant to wilt. Without sufficient turgor pressure, the plant's cells cannot maintain their shape and structure, resulting in a limp appearance.
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).
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.
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.

What will happen to a plant when it is placed inside a refrigerator?
it will get cold.

If a plant is placed in salt water by accident what will happen?
I will explode!!
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.
What will happen if a plant cell is placed in a solution where the concentration of water is less than the water inside the cell?
If a plant cell is placed in a solution with a lower concentration of water (hypertonic solution), water will move out of the cell through osmosis. This causes the cell to lose turgor pressure, leading to wilting or plasmolysis, where the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. Ultimately, the plant may experience stress and reduced ability to photosynthesize if the condition persists.
What would happen to a plant if it was placed in a de-oxygenated environment?
If plants and trees were placed in a de-oxygenated environment, the plant would die!

What would happen if you placed a plant in a very salty water?
It dies.
