Cytolysis does not happen in the elodea because of the concentration of its cells. The concentration that surrounds the cells are usually less concentrated and therefore prevent cytolysis from occurring.

Cytolysis does not occur in Elodea because it has a cell wall that provides structural support and protection to the cell. The cell wall prevents the cell from bursting when exposed to hypotonic solutions, which would otherwise lead to cytolysis.
Cytolysis typically occurs in a hypotonic solution, where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside. Water enters the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst due to the increased pressure on the cell membrane.
Elodea is a multicellular aquatic plant that belongs to the genus of flowering plants in the family Hydrocharitaceae.
No, the elodea cell is not a single-celled organism. Elodea is a multicellular plant that consists of various types of cells working together to carry out different functions such as photosynthesis and structural support. Each elodea cell is itself a single unit of this larger organism.
Yes, elodea is a flowering plant. It is commonly known as waterweed and can produce small, inconspicuous flowers.
Elodea is an aquatic plant commonly known as waterweed. It belongs to the genus Elodea within the family Hydrocharitaceae. Elodea is often used in biology classrooms for studying plant cells and photosynthesis.
