If water kept entering the cell, then eventually the cell would burst and die.
Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.
Most plant cells have a single vacuole that takes up much of the cell.
In pure water, or a weak salt solution; water moves into the cell. The cell wall then swells and bursts. This is due to the cell taking in too much water, so much so that it bursts. This is known as Lysis. In a medium salt or sugar solution there is no net movement of water. This is because the amount of water going into and out of the cell is equal. In a strong salt or sugar solution the water moves out of the cell. This mean the cell shrinks and shrivels and it has lost too much water so has shrivelled. This is known as crenation.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration. In cells, osmosis can cause the cell to either swell or shrink, depending on whether water moves into or out of the cell. If a cell takes in too much water and swells, it may burst, while if too much water leaves a cell, it may shrink and become dehydrated.
As much as the plant needs. The excess water is thrown out.
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.
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.

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

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.

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