If carrot sticks are put into water and refrigerated, they become turgid and stiff, but if red blood cells are given the same treatment, they burst or lyse. Explain the difference in the results.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Because carrot isn’t the same matter as a red blood cell so if a blood cell gets cold it bursts

Explanation:

They have different chemical compounds

Histrionicus

The carrot cells become turgid whereas red blood cells burst or lyse in the given condition due to plant cells have two organelle that prevents it from lysing which are, the cell wall and a large vacuole.

Plant cells have a cell wall around their cell membrane and have a single large vacuole whereas in animals the cell wall is absent and found small vacuoles.

  • When water moves into a plant (carrot) cell, the vacuole becomes bigger. it causes pressure on the cell wall and increases the turgor pressure within the cell making it stiff.
  • The pressure occurred by the cell wall prevents too much water to enter and prevent cell lysis.
  • It lacks in the animal cells that results in cell lysis due to too much water enters in it.

Thus, the difference, in this case, is due to plant cells have two organelle that prevents it from lysing which are, the cell wall and a large vacuole.
