A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.

∙ 7y agoWater will be exchange but no net gain or loss will occur if the solution is isotonic. This means that the water and what is dissolved in it outside the cell are the same as the water in the cell. An isotonic saline solution given by IV is 0.09% saline(salt water solution).

What will happen to a cell dropped into a solution of hypertonic salt water?
A cell immersed is a hypertonic solution will tend to lose water to the solution and shrink.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What happens to a animal cell when in a hypertonic solution?
1. When a plant cell is immersed in a solution with low water potential, the water potential of its cell sap is higher than that of the solution outside its cell.2. water will leave the cell by osmosis. As the cell loses water the vacuole decreases in size and the cytoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall.3. the shrinkage of cytoplasm and cell membrane away from the cell wall is known as plasmolyses or dehydrated cell. the cell is said to be plasmolysed. A plasmolysed cell can be restored to its original state by placing it in water or in a solution with high water potential.
Some plant cell are put in water they neither take nor loose water what can you say about the strength of cell sap and external solution?
lol how should i know im 11
Water will diffuse out of a cell when the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
You are correct. A hypertonic solution is a solution outside the cell that has more solute in it that water. This means that there is more water inside the cell than solute. Because there is more water in the cell, it will diffuse out of it and the cell will shrivel up.

A cell immersed is a hypertonic solution will tend to lose water to the solution and shrink.
Why did plant cells plasmolyze when immersed in a hypertonic solution?
Plant cells plasmolyze when immersed in a hypertonic solution when the cell wall detaches under high pressure causing water to be lost. The more solutes a cell has, the less water becomes available.
If a cell has fluid flowing out of it then in what kind of solution is this cell immersed?
hypertonic
What happens to the protoplasm if immersed on NaCl solution?
protoplasm tends to shrink due to NaCl..causing it to dehydrate and pulling the water out of the cell..
What is a solution that neither shrinks nor swells a cell?
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will not shrink or swell. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes within the cell. Since both concentrations are the same, no water flows in or out of the cell due to osmotic pressure.
What is the common term for an electrochemical cell in which terminals are connected to electrodes immersed in a solution of electrolytes?
battery

What is the effect of hypertonic solution on rbc?
A blood cell immersed in a hypertonic solution will cause water to move out of the cell, thereby causing it to shrivel. Osmotic pressure is water's tendency to seek to equalize its own concentration across a semipermeable membrane (like the cell membrane of a blood cell). So in a hypertonic solution (relative to the solution inside the blood cell), there are less particles of water per particle of solute. This means the water concentration inside the blood cell is higher, and mother nature will have none of that. So water will move out of the cell, seeking to equalize its concentration across the cell membrane. If the membrane is also permeable to solutes in the hypotonic solution, they will move across the membrane following their own chemical and electromagnetic concentration gradients.
What effect does isotonic solution have on the liver?
Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave a liver, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a liver, an isotonic solution water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)
Why will plant cells burst if placed in hypo-tonic sulotion?
osmosis occurs. it plazmolyses because the cell cannot lose any more water and the cell wall detaches. the water is lost because of the flow from a high concentration to a low concentration solution- Less solutes, more water Cell - More solutes, less water
