Why don't plant cells burst when placed in pure water?

Biology
1 answer:
VladimirAG [237]3 years ago
8 0
This is because they have an extra structure that is not in animal cell. They have a cell wall.

When water enters the plant cell due to osmosis, the cell membrane expands and pushes against the cell wall. The cell wall protects the plant cell from bursting. In that way, the plant cell would only be turgid due to the turgor pressure.
In opposite, animal cell doesn't have a cell wall so if extra water flowed into the cell, the cell membrane break and the cell bursts.

An example of chemical digestion is the breakdown of __________ into __________.
vodomira [7]
starch into glucose
proteins
into amino acids
lipids
into fatty acids

There are many more examples of chemical digestion which takes place in the body. Chemical digestion is the breaking of larger more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones that can be taken up by the cells more easily and readily by the use of chemical agents.. Chemical digestion is carried out primarily using biological molecules called enzymes. For example, the breakdown of starch is done by an enzyme known as amylase, which is present in the saliva.

On a molecular level, explain what happens when a kite lifts into the air?
NeTakaya

The difference in air pressure which is created by the molecules in air help to move kite up into the air.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When air moves faster, pressure of air becomes less. Air moves at a faster speed above the kite than below it and so its pressure is less on top of kite. The air pressure below kite is less. This difference in pressure results in uplifting of kite. Molecules of air with high pressure exerts more force on kite from bottom and thus pushing it up in air.

The greater is the difference between air pressure above kite and air pressure below kite, greater is the amount of force exerted on kite and hence, it reaches a greater height.
