what is the effect of distilled water on plant cells?

Distilled water contains no nutrients, therefore distilled water is harmful. The roots access the water, which has no beneficial effect, thus acting as a diuretic to the plant, which like us must "pee" out its waste products. If no other nutrient is given, the plant will die due to the malnourishment of "drinking its own pee", assuming no fertilizer is supplied OR only distilled water is applied OR nothing is done at all.

Distilled water has decrease concentration of dissolved components, or hypotonic, while in comparison with the cytoplasm. So, via osmosis, that's transfusion of water from a community of intense concentration to a community of low concentration by way of a particular membrane, the water travels into the cellular. ultimately the cellular gets too lots water In animal cells, purple blood cells case in point, the cells swell in length till the rigidity is insufferable and the cellular bursts. In plant cells, there is one greater shape contained in merely plant cells that end the cellular from bursting. Insteaad, rigidness of the cellular, or turgor rigidity, slowly rises. This leads to a inflexible plant.

Distilled water would cause them to swell through osmosis.

plants need water to grow...dont overdo it
