hypertonic affects the animal cell by having a higher concentration of solutes than in the cell causing it to shink; which is called plasmolysis

What will happen when you put an animal cell in a in hypertonic solution?

it will shrink


How does hypertonic affect an plant cell?

hypertonic means the cell has too much water, it's become water logged. In an animal cell the cell will rupture, however the cell wall of the plant cell with prevent this from happening and the plant cell with become swollen.


What happens to a animal cell when placed in an hypertonic solution?

In a hypertonic solution water is most likely to move out of the cell because it is in a high concentration and the cell will shrink. They tend to give up water across the permiable cell membrane


What happens to a animal cell when in a hypertonic solution?

A hypertonic solution is less concentrated compared to the cytoplasm of the animal cell. When an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water diffuses across the selectively permeable cell membrane in an attempt to form an equilibrium between the two liquids. If the solution is hypertonic enough compared to the cell's cytoplasm, the cell would swell and could possibly explode.

hypertonic hypertonic


What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?

hypertonic solution


What will happen to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

In a hypertonic solution, the cell will lose water to the surrounding solution through osmosis, causing the cell to shrink or shrivel up. This occurs because the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside, resulting in a net movement of water out of the cell.


Why can't plasmolysıs take place in an animal cell?

Plasmolysis cannot occur in animal cells because they lack a rigid cell wall, which is essential for this process. Plasmolysis involves the contraction of the cell membrane away from the cell wall due to loss of water in a hypertonic environment. In animal cells, instead of plasmolysis, the cell would shrink and potentially undergo crenation when placed in a hypertonic solution, as there is no cell wall to provide structural support.


What happens to a cell that is placed in a hypertonic hypotonic and isotonic environment?

An Animal Cell in hypertonic solution will look shriveled due to osmotic effects on the cell. the hypertonic solution means there is more water potential outside of the cell, water moves from a low water potential to a high water potential. Therefore the water diffuses out of the cell decreasing the volume bringing the cell membrane in making it look shriveled up.


What would happen to an animal cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?
