Some plant cells do not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution, why?

Their strong cell walls prevent the cell from bursting

What would happen if our cells didn't have a cellular membrane?

Our cells would not maintain homeostasis

How does a semipermeable membrane provide homeostasis?

It allows some materials to enter in and out of the cell

Infer what would happen if a cell was placed in a hypertonic solution:

The cell will lose water and shrink

Answers

1
Some plant cells do not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution, why?
Their strong cell membrane prevents the cell from bursting
They have protein pumps that pump water away from the cell
They release a hormone signaling the cell to adsorb water
Their strong cell walls prevent the cell from bursting
2
This type of passive transport moves water down from their concentration gradient
Exocytosis
Facilitated Diffusion
Osmosis
Endocytosis
3
What would happen if our cells didn't have a cellular membrane?
Our cells will shrink in size
Nothing will happen
Our cells would not maintain homeostasis
Our cells will grow in size
4
Using the principles of osmosis, what environment would most plant cells live in?
In a hypertonic solution
In a plasmolysis environment
In a hypotonic solution
In an isotonic solution
5
_______ is the passive transport of materials through a protein channel
Osmosis
Facilitated Diffusion
Endocytosis
Active Transport
6
How does a semipermeable membrane provide homeostasis?
It strengthens the cell membrane
The membrane releases a chemical signal
The membrane binds with an intracellular receptor
It allows some materials to enter in and out of the cell
7
If a cell is 20% salt and the outside environment is 30% salt, what would happen to the cell?
The cell will undergo cytolysis
The cell will maintain homeostasis
The cell becomes turgid
The cell becomes plasmolyzed
8
This solution is when water moves equally in and out of the cell through osmosis:
Thermodynamic solution
Hypertonic solution
Hypotonic solution
Isotonic solution
9
Infer what would happen if a cell was placed in a hypertonic solution:
Nothing will happen
The cell will gain water and expand
The cell will engulf large materials
The cell will lose water and shrink
10
The passive transport of materials from a high concentration to a low concentration
Diffusion
Active diffusion
Endocytosis
Osmosis
