-------tonic means there is a greater concentration of solute molecules outside the cell than inside?
Hypertonic.
Importance of knowing the concentration of solute and solvent in the cell?
By knowing the concentrations of solute and solvent on the inside and outside of a cell, the direction of osmosis and the result of the cell can be predicted. Solutions on the outside of a cell can be described based on how they affect the cell.
When can 2 solutions not be isotonic?
2 solutions cannot be isotonic when the cell membrane is non-permeable to the solute inside the cell. The solution outside the cell has to be fresh water 0% solute and 100% water
When do Hemolysis occurs when a blood cell is placed into?
A hypotonic solution. The concentration of solute inside the cell is greater than that outside the cell and water enters the cell by osmosis. Water travels from an area of higher water concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower water concentration (inside the cell) and the cell swells.
What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
What is the difference between osmolarity and tonicity?
Tonicity refers to the relative concentration of solute particles inside a cell, with respect to the concentration outside the cell. Osmolarity refers to the movement of water from the inside to the outside of a cell, and vice versa
What is a cell in when solute concentrations inside and outside the cell are equal?
Isotonic.
A cell is in what when solute concentration inside and outside the cell are equal?
Isotonic.
A cell is in when solute concentration inside and outside the cell are equal?
Isotonic.
Which description represents the effect of osmosis on a plant cell when the concentration of particles is greater inside the cell than outside?
If the concentration of solute is greater inside than outside the cell then the cell then water will rush into the cell to bind to the solute and the cell will swell. A hypotonic condition.
The transport of molecules of a particular solute from inside an animal cell across the cell membrane to the extracellular fluid always requires energy when?
the concentration of the solute is lower inside the cell than outside it
A cell is in when solute concentrations inside and outside the cell are equal?
A cell is in __________ when solute concentrations inside and outside the cell are equal.?
-------tonic means there is a greater concentration of solute molecules outside the cell than inside?
Hypertonic.

2 solutions cannot be isotonic when the cell membrane is non-permeable to the solute inside the cell. The solution outside the cell has to be fresh water 0% solute and 100% water
Why will the blood cell shrivel and possibly die inside a hypertonic salt solution?
There was more salt/solute outside of the cell, and the solute "sucks" away the water from the cell;making it shrink and possibly collapse in itself.
What kind of solution exists when the substances dissolved outside the cell are more abundant than those in the cytoplasm?
When solute concentration is higher on the outside of the cell, the cell is said to be in a hypertonic solution. This will result in the diffusion of water from inside the cell to outside the cell.
