Can the plant's cell wall burst if it is too full of water molecules? If so, why, how, and what would the plant and an individual cell look like? Also, is that why cut flowers wilt and die?

Heat at 's core is sustained by two things, the downward pressure of everything above it, and, a large deposit of radio active material which also heats the core....

Major function of cell wall is to prevent over expansion of the cell, when water enters the cell. It provide strength and structure to the cell. Cell walls in some...

The plant cell is far easier to answer. Plant cells, at least in the stem, rely on turgidity to remain straight. The central vacuole exerts pressure on the cell wall,...

Basic Definitions: = the semi-permeable structure that surrounds the cell and keeps all of the cells organelles from exploding everywhere. Cell Wall = the rigid 'armor' of the...

Plants have evolved to absorb water and are healthiest when their cells are turgid, or full of water. This allows the plant to support itself. When they are in a...

Let's say the dominant colour is purple (P) and the recessive colour is white (w). The purple plant may be $PP or Pw$ The white plant can only be $ww$...

Let us consider a cross between two plants heterozygous for purple flowers. Heterozygous Purple (Pp) X Heterozygous Purple (Pp) Each plant will produce two types of gametes, i.e. 50%...

Plants do not have bones like some animals do, so they will topple over without bones and a backbone. This is where the role of the cell wall comes in....

If ice were denser than liquid water, icebergs would likely sink (even given that sea water is denser than normal water). If this were the case then oceans would likely...

By transferring one of the s electrons to a d orbital the d orbitals become completely filled. Not only is the d orbital filled all of the orbitals in the...
