Just over 77% of self-published writers make $1,000 or less a year, according to the survey, with a startlingly high 53.9% of traditionally-published authors, and 43.6% of hybrid authors, reporting their earnings are below the same threshold.
e) What prevents a plant cell from bursting when it is full of water? e) What prevents a plant cell from bursting when it is full of water? Plant cells always have a strong cell wall surrounding them. When the take up water by osmosis they start to swell, but the cell wall prevents them from bursting.
Osmosis and Plant Cells (a) Plant Cells in a hypotonic (= weaker) solution â cells have lower water potential â¢ the plant cells gain water by osmosis. â¢ the vacuole and cytoplasm increase in volume. â¢ the cell membrane is pushed harder against the cell wall causing it to stretch a little. â¢ the plant tissue becomes stiffer (= turgid). (b) Plant Cells in a hypertonic (=stronger) solution â cells have higher water potential â¢ the plant cells lose water by osmosis. â¢ the vacuole and cytoplasm decrease in volume.
