In pure water, or a weak salt solution; water moves into the cell. The cell wall then swells and bursts. This is due to the cell taking in too much water, so much so that it bursts. This is known as Lysis.
In a medium salt or sugar solution there is no net movement of water. This is because the amount of water going into and out of the cell is equal.
In a strong salt or sugar solution the water moves out of the cell. This mean the cell shrinks and shrivels and it has lost too much water so has shrivelled. This is known as crenation.

How is the problem of water balance different in animal cells and plant cells?
Animal cells rely on internal mechanisms such as kidneys to regulate water balance, while plant cells rely on external factors like root uptake and transpiration to maintain water balance. Plant cells also have a cell wall that helps them withstand changes in water pressure, which is not present in animal cells.
Why does the animal cell absorb water while the plant cell does not?
Animal cells utilize osmosis to absorb water in order to maintain proper cell function and prevent dehydration. Plant cells have a rigid cell wall that exerts pressure to balance the inward force of water absorption, preventing excessive water uptake. This structural difference allows plant cells to regulate water intake effectively and maintain turgor pressure without absorbing excess water.
Why don't animal cells have vacoules?
no only plant cells. animal cells don't have a need for the extra water
Where the animal cells save the water?
Animal cells save water in their cytoplasm, where water is stored in the form of a solution. Additionally, animal cells regulate their water content through mechanisms such as osmosis, which helps maintain proper hydration levels within the cell.
What will happen when animal cells are in fresh water for a long time?
When animal cells are in fresh water for a long time cytolosis occurs and red blood cells explode.

What factors affect water uptake by plant cells?
Factors that affect water uptake by plant cells include temperature, humidity, soil moisture content, root structure, and the presence of essential nutrients. Water potential gradients, cellular water potential, and the presence of aquaporins in the cell membrane also play important roles in regulating water uptake. Additionally, the process of transpiration, where water is lost through the leaves, can influence water uptake by driving water movement through the plant.

How animal cells differ fro plant cells with respect to the effects of net movements?
Plant cells have a cell wall, a central vacuole, and chloroplasts. Animal cells have lysosomes. cell wall- gives shape to the cell, and protection central vacuole- large structure that temporarily stores substances chloroplasts- use sunlight to create sugars lysosomes-clean up waste and break down cell
What does water effects on the body?
it cleans the cells
Benefit of large water uptake in plants?
Large water uptake in plants allows for proper hydration, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of turgor pressure in cells. It also aids in cooling the plant through transpiration and contributes to various physiological processes such as photosynthesis and growth.

What will happen when animal cells are in fresh water for a long time?
When animal cells are in fresh water for a long time cytolosis occurs and red blood cells explode.
What are plant and animal cells example of what cells?
Some examples of plant cells are : Parenchyma Cells, Collenchyma Cells, Sclerenchyma Cells, and water conducting cells. Animal cells are nerve cells, muscle cells, and skin cells.
Do animal cells and plant cells both stored water in them?
Yes and so do human cells
What do vacuoles in animal cells do?
It's water storage. It stores water.
