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

Biology
1 answer:
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.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Her hypothalamus will secrete vasopressin. If her dehydration becomes severe, her secretion of vasopressin will increase.

<h3>What is vasopressin?</h3>
  • The posterior pituitary gland releases the peptide hormone vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone.
  • Which is produced by the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus (neurohypophysis).
  • It primarily functions as an anti-diuretic in the kidney, where it causes the body to reabsorb water by acting on the distal region of the nephron when it is dehydrated.
  • The AVP gene for it is found on human chromosome 20.
  • Vasopressin has an antidiuretic effect; it reduces the volume of urine by raising the collecting tube's water permeability.
  • It attaches to the G protein-coupled V2 receptor, which in turn starts a signaling cascade through the PKA.
  • Aquaporin 2 (a transmembrane pore) is produced as a result, and it is then transported to the apical/urinary membrane.
