What happening when the cell starts to swell up with water?

Osmosis is taking place.


What is happening with the cells start to swell up with water?

The chemical concentration inside the cell is greater than outside therefore water moves by osmosis into the swell and causes it to swell. If this continues beyond a certain point the cell can lyse (burst).


Why does water enter a cell that is placed in a hypotonic solution?

water enters a cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell.


What is cause a cell to swell and possibly brust as water enters the cell?

osmosis


What can happen if a cell placed in pure water 100 percent?

If a cell is placed in pure water, the water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. This process is known as cytolysis and can result in cell death.


What solution that causes a cell to swell cause of osmosis?

A hypotonic solution, with a lower solute concentration compared to the inside of the cell, causes water to move into the cell via osmosis. This influx of water makes the cell swell and potentially burst if the osmotic pressure becomes too high.


What might happen if too little water moves out of a cell.?

it will swell


Solution that causes a cell to swell?

A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.


What might happen if water kept entering cells but no water left the cell?

it will swell


If Too much water moved into a cell?

The water vacuole would burst


What might happen if too little water moved out a cell?

it will swell


Why does a cell placed in hypotonic solution swell?

A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell because the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. Water will move from the solution into the cell to equalize the concentration, causing the cell to expand and potentially burst.
