What happens in a animal cell in pure water an why does this not happen in a plant cell?
It can possibly burst.
What happens when water enters guard cells?
When water enters the guard cells of a plant, they become turgid and swell up, causing the stoma to open. This allows for gas exchange to occur in the leaf, facilitating photosynthesis. Conversely, when water is lost from the guard cells, they become flaccid, leading to stoma closure to prevent excessive water loss.
Do animal cell and plant cell get bigger in distilled water?
If animal cells are placed in distilled water they will absorb water by the process called osmosis. This will make the cell swell and, if it doen not stop, eventually burst. Plant cells placed in distilled water will also absorb water by osmosis but the cell wall prevents them from swelling. Water enters the cells by osmosis because the concentration of the solution inside the cells is higher than that of the 'solution' outside. Water always moves by osmosis from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution (when they are separated by a membrane which lets water through but not dissolved substances). For a good introduction to osmosis see: http://www.chaosscience.org.uk/pub/public_html//article.php?story=20050301222247333
What does a vacuole do in an animal cell?
Vacuoles in animal cells store food, water and minerals like plant cells. The only difference is that plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells which helps to keep the cell stiff. They are considered to be the trash bins or waste baskets for the animal cell.
What will happen if an animal cell is placed in a beaker of distilled water?
It bursts. Why? First of all, osmosis: the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher waterconcentration to lower water concentration. (OR low solute concentration to high solute concentration.) Distilled water is referred to as a hypotonic solution (You should double check that) and when water enters the cell, it begins to swell and eventually bursts. Thing is, with plant cells-they have cell walls. So with turgor pressure and the such the plant becomes turgid, but with animal cells, the cell membrane is really thin. So because there is such low water concentration in the animal cell, water rushes in, trying to balance everything out. But the cell membrane is very thin, and well, it bursts because it can only take so much. This happens with distilled water because there is no concentration in the water at all, and there is so much water concentration compared to the inside of the animal cell. Hope it helps:)
What happens when water continually enters an animal cell?
due to hypo-osmosis cell breaks
What leaves the body cells and enters the blood then leaves the blood cells and enters the lungs?
NUTRIENTS AND OXYGEN also water, minerals, and vitamins
Most water enters and leaves cells by?
Water moves between cells by osmosis, down a concentration gradient.
What happens to animal cells when they are put into really salty water?
The cells will lose water through diffusion to the salty medium until the concentrations of sodium in the cell is equal to the concentration in the medium
What happens in a animal cell in pure water an why does this not happen in a plant cell?
It can possibly burst.
What happens to animal cell in a solution with high water potential?
Animal cells lack rigid cell wall. When an animal cell is placed in a solution with high water potential, the wanter enters the cell as cell membrane is freely permeable to water. As a result of continuously increasing water potential inside the cell, Cell membrane bursts and the cell is said to be lysed.
Why don't animal cells have vacoules?
no only plant cells. animal cells don't have a need for the extra water
What organelle keeps some animal cells from bursting in a hypotonic solution?
The contractile vacuole in some animal cells helps regulate osmotic pressure by actively pumping out excess water that enters the cell in a hypotonic solution. This prevents the cell from bursting due to the influx of water.
As evaporating water enters into the atmosphere what happens?
Its molecules become heated.
What happens when water enters guard cells?
When water enters the guard cells of a plant, they become turgid and swell up, causing the stoma to open. This allows for gas exchange to occur in the leaf, facilitating photosynthesis. Conversely, when water is lost from the guard cells, they become flaccid, leading to stoma closure to prevent excessive water loss.
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.
