Plants wilt due to a loss of turgor pressure in a condition called plasmolysis. This occurs when plants are placed in a hypertonic solution, meaning the concentration of water outside the cell is greater than the concentration inside the cell. This causes water to move out of the cell therefore causing a lack of turgor pressure, causing the plant to wilt.

∙ 13y agoWhen an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution (water is less dilute outside of the cell), then the cell shrivels, and could die. For a plant cell, this is called Plasmolysis.

What process is not involved in moving water from roots to leaves in a plant?
Cell contraction
What part of the plant does photosynthesis occur in?
The Chloroplasts.the chloroplasts are organelles in a plant cell that take in sunlight.
What plant has tiny leaves that reduce the amount of water lost through transpiration?
The guard cell prevents water loss in leaves.
What is the condition in which the number o water molecules is higher outside the cell?
Hyperosmotic
Is a cell is placed in a salt water water leaves cell by?
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
If a cell is placed in salt water water leaves the cell by .?
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
When water leaves a plant cell the osmotic pressure will increase of decrease?
The osmotic pressure will decrease. The osmotic pressure is decreased because the water is leaving the cell.
When a person is dehydrated does water enter or leave the cell?
The water leaves the cell.
When water leaves the cell the cell will?
the water can not leves the cells b/c the cells are the water
What will happen to freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water?
Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
What results from water pushing on the cell mambrane out to the cell wall in a plant cell?
A turgid condition that allows vascular plants to rise high enough to get leaves into good sunlit conditions. Lysis of the cell by hypotonicity is also avoided by having a cell wall in plants.
What stores waste and water in a plant cell?
The leaves.
What is cytololysis?
The disolution or distruction of a cellCytolysis, or osmotic lysis, occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to move into the cell. It occurs in a hypotonic environment, where water diffuses into the cell and causes its volume to increase. If the volume of water exceeds the cell membrane's capacity then the cell will burst.The cell will only burst if the cell is an animal cell and it will only expand if it is a plant cell.
When water leaves a plant cell the osomotic pressure will?
Decrease.

What would happen if freshwater bacterial cells are placed in salt water?
water leaves the cell causeing the cell to shrink.
