If water kept entering the cell, then eventually the cell would burst and die.

A cell is place in a solution and it takes in so much water it bursts?

In biologic conditions there is a process called homeostasis. This means there is a balance between water in and outside the cell thanks to some molecules (salts). When a cell is placed in an environment with only water there are no regulatory molecules, and the homeostasis is unbalanced. The cell absorbes too much water it burts. The absorbation process is due to osmosis.


What do you think will happen to the cell if the plasma membrane does not functions properly?

It will burst, or shrivel. The plasma membrane(Cell Membrane) manages what goes in and out. If it doesn't function properly, it will either take in too much water, take out too much water or make no changes. Takes in too much > Burst. Takes out too much > Shrivel. Stays the same > Eventually runs out of nutrients and dies.

What happens if to much water is in a cell?

Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.


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 do you use vacuole in a sentence?

Most plant cells have a single vacuole that takes up much of the cell.


When too much water enters a cell it is known as?

When too much water enters a cell, it is known as cell swelling or cytolysis. This can occur due to osmosis, where water moves into the cell to try to equalize concentrations of solutes inside and outside the cell. If too much water enters, the cell can burst or undergo damage.


How much water is in a cell?

84%


How much water in in a cell?

A plant cell in a hypotonic environment?

In a hypotonic environment, a plant cell will swell due to water flowing into the cell by osmosis. This can cause the cell to become turgid, which is important for maintaining turgor pressure and structural support in plant cells. If the cell takes in too much water, it may burst, a process known as lysis.


What is a compartment that often takes up much of the volume of the cell?

vacuole


Is it important for a cell to regulate water?

yes, if a cell gets to much water, it will not work properly, that is why cells have cell membranes and cell walls
