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

Biology

VladimirAG [237]3 years ago

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.

animals cannot produce enzymes to digest cellulose, yet many termite species consume cellulose from plant material as a main par
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Termites have cellulose-digesting protists in their guts.

Explanation:

Termites are able to access nutrients contained in cellulose due to their mutualistic association with some cellulose-digesting protists such as <em>Trichonympha</em> and M<em>ixotricha</em>. The protists produce cellulase in addition to other glycolytic enzymes that work together to convert cellulose to malate.

The malate produced is further metabolized to produce CO_2, hydrogen, acetate and energy in the form of ATP.

The protists get sheltered in the termite's gut in return.

Explain how the disruption can disturb the cycling of carbon ?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Humans have breached this cycle by digging up fossil fuels and burning them, leading to carbon dioxide building up in the atmosphere faster than natural systems can soak it up. This has led to a net increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing the planet to heat up.
