Which term is used to describe an animal's ability to survive if the cells are exposed to a hypotonic or hypertonic environment?
osmoregulation
What happens to a cell in a isotonic solution?
the plasma membranes water flows at an equal rate. animal cells function the best in an isotonic environment. in an isotonic environment the blood cells stay normal and do not get lyced (which happens in hypotonic environments) and they do not shrivel (which happens in hypertonic environments).
What is the ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell?
Hypotonic
What prevents plants cells in a hypotonic environment from saturating and bursting?
The cell wall with tonoplast prevents them from bursting.
What happened when plant is place in hypertonic environment?
A hypertonic environment contains a higher concentration solutes then do the interior of the cell. This causes the water within the cell to move through the membrane and makes the cell shrink. A hypotonic solution has the opposite effect. The cell will swell and even explode (lysis).
What environment do most plant cells live in?
hypotonic
Which osmotic environment is best for plant cells?
A plant cell is best in a hypotonic environment
What happens to an isotomic cell when it is placed in a hypotomic environment?
isotonic and hypotonic
What happens when cells plasmolyze?
i dont know.......maybe a hypotonic solution!
When a human red blood cells placed in a hypotonic environment it will?
When a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, it iwll undergo cytolysis, which basically means it will explode.
How does a cell maintain homeostasis?
Plant cells maintain homeostasis in an hypotonic environment by having cells walls that keep them from exploding
What is hypotonic cell?
Hypotonic cells are cells that have been exposed to hypotonic solutions. These solutions cause cells to plumb as they fill with the solution.
What advantages do cell walls provide for plants in fresh water?
They prevent the cells from lysing in the hypotonic environment.
Which term is used to describe an animal's ability to survive if the cells are exposed to a hypotonic or hypertonic environment?
osmoregulation
What is the environment of a red blood cell when red blood cells are approximately 0.25 percent salt Red blood cells are placed in distilled water?
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
What happens to both plant and animal cells when they are placed into a solution that is hypotonic?
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid
What is the ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell?
Hypotonic
