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.
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.
If a plant cell is put into a concentrated sugar solution what will happen?
Those animal cells placed in pure water will swell but plant cells are restricted by their cells walls. If place in a solution high in sugar (or even salt), both cells will shrink in a process called crenation (shriveling).
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 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.
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.
If a plant cell is put into a concentrated sugar solution what will happen?
Those animal cells placed in pure water will swell but plant cells are restricted by their cells walls. If place in a solution high in sugar (or even salt), both cells will shrink in a process called crenation (shriveling).
How will a plant cell respond differently than a animal cell?
It will not burst when placed in a dilute solution.
