Knowing that red blood cells swell and then burst when placed into a solution that is 100% LOO% water, what explains why plant cells do not burst? They have chloroplasts for pumping out excess water. They have a vacuole for water storage They have a rigid protective cell wall They have a plasma membrane that is selectively permeable.

They have a rigid protective cell wall**

Explicação

Plant cells do not burst when placed in 100% water because their rigid cell wall provides structural support and prevents the cell from expanding beyond its limit. While water enters the cell by osmosis, the cell wall exerts pressure (turgor pressure) that counteracts the influx of water, preventing the cell from bursting.
