What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cells into the hypertonic solution, causing the cells to shrink and become dehydrated.
Two cells were placed in a container containing liquid X they both shrunk what is liquid X?
Liquid X is likely a hypertonic solution, meaning it has a higher solute concentration than the cells. When cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, water leaves the cells to try to equalize the concentration, causing them to shrink in a process called plasmolysis.
How does being placed in a hypertonic solution affect a plant?
Being placed in a hypertonic solution causes water to move out of the plant cells by osmosis, leading to loss of turgor pressure and wilting of the plant. This can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to cell death if the plant is not able to recover by accessing more water.
What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water will tend to lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This can lead to dehydration and potential cell damage.
What type of solution is hypertonic?
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.
Which are isotonic?
Isotonic solution is a solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal to that of cytosol of the cell placed in that solution. There is no net osmotic pressure on a membrane placed between 2 isotonic solutions.
What is the term used to describe the type of solution in which cells will lose water to their environment?
Cells immersed in hypertonic solutions lose water and shrink, or crenate.
If cells are placed in a solution with a high concentration of solute water will?
the molecules will pass from the salt solution to the cells.
What would happen if potatos werent peeled when placed in salt water solutions?
Nothing important occur.
What happens to a cell plant cell or animal cell when placed in following solution a hypotonic solution b isotonic solution c hypertonic solution?
When placed in an isotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is roughly equal to the that within cells), there is equal diffusion of water into and out of the cells. Therefore, the cells find this environment suitable. In a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is much more than that within cells) water diffuses into cells as a result of which the cells swell. Excessive swelling causes the cells to burst, a phenomenon called cell lysis In a hypertonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is lesser than that within cells) water moved out from within cells to the surrounding medium. As a result of this, cells shrink.
What is the measure of a solutions ability to change the volume of cells by altering their water content?
tonicity
When the onion and cheek epithelial cells was placed in the distilled water?
eat cholate
