What is the difference between animal and plant cell in the distilled solution?
In a distilled solution an animal cell will swell and possibly burst. In a distilled solution the cell wall of the plant cell allows the plant cell to retain its shape.
Why plant cells in distilled water do not behave exactly same way as animal cell?
Animal cells will burst because they have no outer structure to allow them to keep their shape. However, plant cells have a cell wall which keeps the cell from bursting.
Predict what might happen to an animal cell if you put it in distilled water?
The animal cell will swell and potentially burst due to water entering the cell through osmosis. The distilled water has a higher water concentration than inside the cell, causing water to move into the cell to try to equalize the concentration.
What term describes the condition of plant cells after being placed in distilled water?
Plasmolysis describes the condition of plant cells after being placed in distilled water. In plasmolysis, water exits the cell by osmosis, causing the cell membrane to detach from the cell wall. This results in the cell shrinking and the cytoplasm pulling away from the cell wall.
Do animal cell and plant cell get bigger in distilled water?
Yes, both animal and plant cells will swell or get bigger when placed in distilled water due to the process of osmosis. This occurs because water moves into the cells, causing them to take in the excess water and expand.
What would happen if a plant parenchyma cell is placed in distilled water?
Plant cells will expand and becomes turgid. The rigid cellulose cell wall expands slightly only which prevents it from bursting. This occurs because osmosis takes place. There is higher water potential outside the cell than that inside of the cell sap therefore, causing water to enter. Therefore, as water flows in, the cell presses on the cell wall creating pressure on the cell wall also known as Turgor pressure. This pressure keeps the plant tissues tirgid.
What limits the extension of a animal cell when full of water?
Animal cell or plant cell?? Cause I know that in plant cell, it's the cell wall which prevents the cell from bursting.
Why is the water potential of distilled water higher than the water potential of the cytoplasm of the cell?
Distilled water has a water potential of zero, which is higher than the water potential of the cytoplasm of a cell because the cytoplasm contains solutes that lower its water potential. This difference in water potential leads to osmosis, where water moves from the higher water potential of the distilled water into the lower water potential of the cell to equalize solute concentrations.
Is vacuole found an animal cell or plant cell?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. Plant cells are known for their large central water vacuole.
How is animal cells different from plant cell?
well the animal is different from a plant cell because a plant cell have a cell wall, & chloroplast and the animal cell does not
What is the result of a cell being placed in distilled water and then transfered to a 5 percent salt solution?
If a cell is placed in distilled water, it will likely absorb water and swell up due to osmosis. When transferred to a 5 percent salt solution, the cell will lose water and shrink, as the high salt concentration outside the cell will cause water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This process is known as plasmolysis.
If a cell in a wet cell battery goes dry can it be revived by adding distilled water?
yes with distilled water
