When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
What is the behavior of cells in isotonic solution?
An isotonic solution is one in which the ionic environment is similar to that of the cytoplasm. Hence, when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net diffusion of water into or out of the cell. The cell remains intact.
What will happen if an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm?
I believe the solution would be considered hypotonic. in which case the amoeba would let water (H2O) out of its body to regulate the solute concentration (to make it equal)
What solution is placed in the cell when the concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the cell than in the solution in which it is placed?
Suger
What happends to a cell when placed in a hypertonic solution?
When a cell is put in a hypertonic solution, it shrinks and shrivels. You alwasy have t say: This solution is hypertonic to ...A hypertonic solution means that there is more matter in the solution than in the object it is compared to. The cell will shrink and shrivel because the water will leave the cell to try to dissolve the matter outside of it.
What is the solution concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the cell than in the solution in which it is placed?
Hypotonic
What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is in the same in both the cell and the solution in which it is placed?
Isotonic solution
If a cell is placed in a what solution the concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the solution than in the cell?
isotonic.
If a cell is placed in what solution the concentration of dissolved substances will be the same in both the cell and the solution in which it is placed?
Hypotonic :) good luck on plato :D
Why does a raw egg swell or shrink when placed in different solutions?
A raw egg without its shell but with its inner membrane intact will either swell or shrink when placed in a solution because of the concentration gradient. The membrane is semi-permeable. An egg will shrink if it is placed in a solution that has a higher solute concentration than inside it. It will swell if it is placed in a solution that has a lower solute concentration than inside the egg.
When two aqueous solution that differ in solute concentration are placed on either side of a seipermeable membrane and osmosic is allowed to take place th the water will?
The water will move towards the higher solute concentration until both sides are isotonic.
What will cause the cell to shrink when placed in hypertonic solution?
The cytoplasm looses water to the cell exterior.
