What else can I help you with?
What will happened if a cell takes in too much water?
If water kept entering the cell, then eventually the cell would burst and die.
What part of a root hair cell takes water out of the ground?
The cell membrane of a root hair cell contains protein channels called aquaporins that facilitate the movement of water into the cell from the surrounding soil. This allows the root hair cell to absorb water and essential nutrients from the soil for plant growth.
How many vacuoles in a plant cell?
There is one large water vacuole that takes up the majority of the area of the cell; there are several small food vacuoles scattered around the cytoplasm.
What squirts water out of a parameciun?
A paramecium does not squirt water out. It takes in water through its oral groove for feeding and expels excess water through a contractile vacuole to maintain osmotic balance within its cell.
How cell to cell movement of water takes place in plants?
Water moves from cell to cell in plants through a process called osmosis, where water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. This movement is facilitated by specialized structures called aquaporins, which act as channels for water to pass through cell membranes. Additionally, the cohesion and adhesion properties of water molecules also play a role in allowing water to move through the plant's vascular system.
When a cell takes in food and water it is called what?
When a cell takes in food and water, it is called endocytosis. This process involves the cell engulfing substances from its external environment by forming a vesicle around them.
What will happened if a cell takes in too much water?
If water kept entering the cell, then eventually the cell would burst and die.
What kind of diffution takes place when plant cell absorbs water?
The plant cell absorbs water by simple diffusion and osmosis.
What are the substances released when oxidation takes place in the cell?
water, carbon dioxide and oxygen
Which of the organelles takes up the majority of the volume of the plant cell and is used for food and water storage?
The vacuole is the organelle that takes up the majority of the volume in a plant cell. It is used for storing water, nutrients, and waste products. The central vacuole in plant cells helps maintain turgor pressure and provides structural support to the cell.
Where does absorption of water and other needed material takes place?
At the cell membrane or plasma membrane
What part of a root hair cell takes water out of the ground?
The cell membrane of a root hair cell contains protein channels called aquaporins that facilitate the movement of water into the cell from the surrounding soil. This allows the root hair cell to absorb water and essential nutrients from the soil for plant growth.
How does water participate in making sure that cells receive nutrients and get rid of waste?
Water is a 'hydrophyllic' FLUID that takes substances that are soluble in Water and flows the beneficial ones to the inside of the Cell and the detrimental ones to the outside of the Cell.
What happens to a cells when they are put in a higher concentration of water?
When cells are placed in a higher concentration of water (a hypotonic solution), water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst (lyse). This can disrupt the cell's internal environment and lead to cell damage or death.
What happens to the plant cell when it is taking in water?
When a plant cell takes in water, it swells and becomes turgid due to the increased pressure within the cell. This turgidity helps support the plant structure and maintain its shape. Too much water uptake, however, can lead to bursting of the cell membrane in a process known as lysis.
How would a cell like algae living on land obtain its water supplies?
A cell like algae living on land obtains its water supplies mainly from the rain. This is through the process of condensation whereby it takes in atmospheric water vapor.
How do cells affect growth?
Cells affect growth by supporting the system with food and water. The more food and water a cell takes in the more they grow.
