What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
What concentration of solutes is equal the concentration of solutes inside the cell?
when a concentration of something, usually water, is the same inside and outside a cell, it is called an isotonic solution. When there is more inside the cell or membrane, but less outside, the solution is hypotonic. when there is more on the outside , it is known as hypertonic. however, it depends what you are describing
Lower concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell?
surgar will move into the cell
What is isotonic condition?
A condition whereby the concetration of solutes outside the cell balances/equals that inside the cell
Is the movement of water to try to balance concentrations?
Osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from where it is in high concentration to where it is in lower concentration. The purpose of osmosis is to equalize the concentration of solutes inside a cell and outside a cell.
What allows a cell to stockpile substances in far greater concentration that they occur outside the cell?
Active transport allows a cell to stockpile substances in far greater concentration that they occur outside the cell.
When the concentration of solutes outside the cell and inside the cell are in equilibrium the solution is said to be?
When a cell is in a solution that has the same concentration of water and solutes, it is considered isotonic. Water still moves through the plasma membrane, but water enters and leaves the cell at an equal rate-it has reached an equilibrium, and there is no net movement of water.
If the concentration of sodium ions in the fluid surrounding cells decrease and the concentration of the solutes inside the cell remain constant what will happen?
The cell will expand until the ionic concentration is the same inside as out (or the membrane fails and the cell "explodes").
What is isotonic concentration?
Isotonic concentration is when the concentration of soletutes inside and outside of the cell are equal in concentration
How did those substance go into the water outside the dialysis bag?
The substance moved into the water through osmosis. The concentration of the substances inside the dialysis bag was higher than in the water and membrane was permeable to the substances. As such, they moved from a high to a low concentration along a concentration gradient.
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in what solution?
A solution in which the salt concentration is greater outside the cell than inside the cell is known as
The inside of cells have a higher concentration of what?
The inside of cells have a higher concentration of Potassium. But there's a higher concentration of Sodium outside the cell.
