When you put salt water on plant cells, the cell membrane shirnks, why?

Question

WHat is the process that would lead to the changes in the plant?

Answer 1

Water moves to where there is less if itself: water leaving the plant cell causes loss of turgor & the cell dies.

Answer 2

Plant Cell In Salt Water

Answer 3

Plants can absorb water and salt-water. However, once the plant absorbs the salt-water, the water can move freely through the plant's body system, however, in order to remove the salt from plant's its own body, it will remove a large amount of water so the plant can remove the salt from its body.
Conclusion: Just give your plant water, and that's all.

Answer 4

<>The process is called crenation and it occurs because the concentration of salt is higher on the outside of the cell than the inside, so the cell passes water to the outside in order to lower the salt concentration. The cell shrinks because of the decreasing amount of water.

Answer 5

The cells are undergoing a process called "plasmolysis".
More water is leaving the cell than entering.
The cell membrane is separating from the cell wall (which is ridgid).
The salty environment is hypertonic (look this up) to the cell.
The plant "wilts", and will die due to partial dehydration.

well, if you think about which one is more dense and which one is less dense... some of the H2O in the cell might swap out with the salt H2O to balance out... or the salt water might dry out the cell entirely: that is my guess. the salt water will probably draw out the H2O and dry out the cell entirely...

Answer 7

salt attracts water from the cell it's called leaching some plants do this in reverse by having a higher salt content than the surounding soil they retain water in harsh dry conditions or saltwater regions
