At low tide,a plant or animal cell will be in ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At low tide, water levels will be lower than during high tide, which means the concentration of solutes outside the cell will be higher, resulting in a hypotonic solution. This causes water to move into the cell in an attempt to balance the concentration, potentially leading to cell swelling or bursting in animal cells without a cell wall. Plant cells have a cell wall, so they can resist bursting and instead become turgid.
