Would more water move into or out of a cheek cell if it was surrounded by pure water?
If a cheek cell is surrounded by pure water, more water would move into the cell. This is due to osmosis, where water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (the pure water) to an area of higher solute concentration (inside the cell). As a result, the cheek cell may swell or even burst if the influx of water is excessive.

What would happen to a cheek cell if it was placed in a petri dish full of salt water?
The cheek cell placed in salt water would undergo a process called plasmolysis, where water leaves the cell due to the hypertonic environment. This would cause the cell to shrink and become dehydrated. Ultimately, the cell may die due to the loss of water and cellular functions not being able to occur properly.
Is a cheek cell an animal or a plant cell?
It is multicelluar because human is muticelluar animals probabaly cheek cell looked like nuicellular but the cheek cell is fall apart from our cheek.
Comparison between cheek cell to plant cell?
Cheek cells are eukaryotic cells found in animals, whereas plant cells are eukaryotic cells found in plants. Cheek cells do not have a cell wall but have cell membranes, while plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose in addition to cell membranes. Cheek cells do not contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while plant cells do contain chloroplasts.
Does a sperm cell have the same chromosomes as a cheek cell?
No, a sperm cell and a cheek cell do not have the same chromosomes. A sperm cell is a haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes, while a cheek cell is a somatic cell with 46 chromosomes, which is diploid.
Does the Nucleus have a cheek cell or leaf cell?
The cheek cell has a nucleus and so does a leaf cell.
What would happen to a cell surrounded by fresh water?
it would burst
What would happen to a cheek cell if it was placed in a petri dish full of salt water?

This would cause the cell to shrink and become dehydrated. Ultimately, the cell may die due to the loss of water and cellular functions not being able to occur properly.
Which type of solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water leaving the cell by osmosis, causing it to shrink.
Did water move ino the cell or out of the cell while it was surrounded by the hypotonic solution explain why?
hypotonic means there are fewer solutes so water would flow into the cell. Hypertonic is the opposite.
Some similer thing from a cheek cell and a finger cell is?
the cheek cell is not skin and so it is not like a finger, plus the finger cell would hurt much more, cheek cells are just a scraping with a touch of Iodine.
Do cheek cells a a cell membrane?
Yes, all cells have either a cell membrane or a cell wall; and only plants have cell walls so in turn, cheek cells would have a membrane.
When the onion cell is placed in the pure water the size of the cell would be bigger after one hour but when you placed the cheek cell into the pure water it will burst why is that so?
An Onion cell as a contractile vacuole. This allows the cells to remover more water especially when placed into a hypotonic solution. An epithelial skin cell of the cheek does not have a contractile vacuole. The acess water cannot be stored, therefore the cell bursts.
What instrument would you use if you were in biology class and wanted to observe the nucleus of a cheek cell?
You would use a compound light microscope to observe the nucleus of a cheek cell in biology class.
What are plants surrounded by?
A -Cell Wall- would be surrounding the cell membrane which is the outside of the cell.
Is a cheek cell an animal or a plant cell?
It is multicelluar because human is muticelluar animals probabaly cheek cell looked like nuicellular but the cheek cell is fall apart from our cheek.
How many times would you have to enlarge a cheek cell to make it the same diameter as a tennis ball?
A cheek cell has an average diameter of 60 micrometers. A tennis ball has a diameter of 6.7 centimeters. This means that the tennis ball is about 1120 times the size of the cheek cell.
Why does a cheek cell burst?
Osmosis is the movement of water by diffusion across a semi-permiable membrane. The student placed the cheek cells in water and when cells are placed in an environment of a high concentration of a particular substance, the cell practices osmosis where the water moves from a high concentration (the water on the slide), to a low concentration (the cheek cells) until they reach equilibrium. In this case, the process of osmosis did not cease as the cells were immersed in such a high concentration of water and it continued until the cell was so full that it burst. Unlike plant cells, cheek cells do not have a cell wall and their membrane is semi permeable, thus allowing water to travel through. The cell reacts to this water in almost a form of 'shock' and it tries to make the inner contents of itself, equal to its surroundings.
