Starch and glycogen molecules are a means for a plant or animal cell to store what in order to keep the osmotic pressure in the cell constant?
In order to keep the osmotic pressure in the cell constant, starch and glycogen molecules are a means for a plant or animal cell to store glucose. Cells require sugar or glucose as a source of energy for many different functions.
What cell is osmotic equilibrium with their surrounding environments because if they swell or shrink their membranes will rupture?
animal cells
What is it called when animal cells burst?
When animal cells burst it's called lysis.
What is osmotic rupture?
Osmotic rupture, known as cytolysis, happens when a cell suddenly bursts due to an osmotic imbalance in the cell. This only occur in animals and protozoans who do not have cell walls to prevent the membrane from rupturing.
A plant cell in a hypotonic environment?
Bursts in Animal cell But the cell walls and vacuoles protect it in a plant cell
How do you describe the osmotic environment when water rushes into the cell?
Wet
Which osmotic environment is best for plant cells?
A plant cell is best in a hypotonic environment

What is cytololysis?
The disolution or distruction of a cellCytolysis, or osmotic lysis, occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to move into the cell. It occurs in a hypotonic environment, where water diffuses into the cell and causes its volume to increase. If the volume of water exceeds the cell membrane's capacity then the cell will burst.The cell will only burst if the cell is an animal cell and it will only expand if it is a plant cell.

animal cells

What does the vacuole do in the cell of a plant?
It maintains the osmotic potential of the cell
How can you call cell wall as dead and cell membrane as living?
because cell wall is not so imp. as if we provide a constant osmotic temp. then the cell will survive as in animal cells they do but if cell membrane doesn"t exist then cell would not survive.
What do the cell membrane do for the animal cell and the plant cell?
cell membranes control the exchange of substances between a cell and its environment.
What is the tonicity of a bacterial cell?
Isotonic conditions will not change the cell in bacterial or an human cell. Because the water concentration in the cell equal.Hypotonic conditions will increase the solute in the cell because of the osmotic pressure inside the cell. Cell may burst if to much solute is inside the cell. Bacterial and human cell.Hypertonic conditions is said to have osmotic pressure. Because the concentration in the environment has an higher concentration than inside the cell so all the solute will drive out of the cell and cause it to dry out.
