Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solute than the cell. Water rushes into the cell and causes it to lyse, or explode.

What cells need hypotonicity to be at homeostasis?
paramecium, since it lives in fresh water, it has a contractile vacuole so that it doesn't gain too much water and burst
What cell controls turgor pressure?
A plant cell has a cell wall that pushes back against water pressure in the cell when the cell is in it's preferred condition of hypotonicity. This is turgor pressure.
What results from water pushing on the cell mambrane out to the cell wall in a plant cell?
A turgid condition that allows vascular plants to rise high enough to get leaves into good sunlit conditions. Lysis of the cell by hypotonicity is also avoided by having a cell wall in plants.
Does distilled water have a greater hypotonicity than pond water?
Tonicity of water depends on the concentration of solutes present in a water. As pond water more solutes then in distill water which either having less or negligible ammount of solutes. So distilled water is more hypotonic then pond water
What are two methods cells use to withstand hypotonic environments?
Plant cells have rigid cell walls that prevent bursting. The pressure of the cytoplasm against the cell wall keeps the plant from wilting and losing its shape. This pressure is called turgor pressure Some protists (such as Paramecium) counteract hypotonicity with the use of contractile vacuoles that pump water rapidly out of the cell.
