Nothing would happen because the plant cell has a cell wall and it will protect it from shriveling up or dying.

What will happen if put plant cell in salty water?

Salt draws water from plant cells. This causes the cells to dehydrate and the plant to shrivel up and die.


What will happen to the cells of an apple pieces if they are in salty water?

The cells of the apple pieces will lose water through osmosis due to the higher concentration of salt in the water compared to the inside of the cells. This will cause the cells to shrink and become dehydrated, potentially leading to wilting and a change in texture.


What would you expect would happen to a plant if you watered it with very salty water?

Water potential of the water inside the cells is higher that the water potential of the water outside the cells. (That would means the concentration of "pure" water inside the cells are higher than that outside the cells) Water moves from an higher water potential to an lower water potential. Thus Plasmolysis of the cells will take place. Which means the Nucleus,Vacuole and all the other cellular material will move from the inside of the cell to the outside.


Why is it difficult for a plant to take up water from a salty solution?

It is difficult for most plants to take minerals or water from salty solutions because just like we as human beings cant drink salty water or even if in some cases we do, we die after that. In the same way plants need freshwater like we do because both of us are living organisms. thumbs up if you agree


When a vegetable is placed in salty water it becomes soft and collapses why does this happen?

When a vegetable is placed in salty water, osmosis occurs, causing water to move out of the vegetable cells into the surrounding saltwater solution. This loss of water leads to a decrease in turgor pressure within the cells, resulting in the vegetable becoming soft and collapsing. The high concentration of salt outside the cells creates a hypertonic environment, drawing moisture away from the vegetable.

Does a sunflower grow in saltwater or freshwater?

Salt water will cause plasmolyzed cells which will kill the plant. Through selective breeding, however you can get a plant that will live in salty soil.


Why plants can't grow in salty water?

Salty water affects how a plant gets nutrients from the water and soil. Salty water causes the roots to die because the water moves outside of the plant cells as a way of balancing the salt concentration. Water stress kills plants and high levels of salt force a plant to use more energy to get needed water.


What would happen to a plant watered with a salty water?

the plant will grow healthier because salt is the main source for them, the plant can get an IODINE which may became as a fertilizer ..hope this may help .. < love vanjeff>>

What will happen if red blood cells are transferred to seawater?

as u know, seawater is salty ,that is hypertonic.. when u place RBC in sea water it will swell and then burst.

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
