What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell than inside?
Particles always move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Therefore, if the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell, they will travel into the cell until there is an equal concentration of the substance on both sides of the cell wall.
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
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
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.
Why must the concentration of the fluid surrounding red blood cells be the right strength?
ISO-TONIC If a concentration of fluid is greater outside of the cell, then the cell will be in a hypotonic solution. Then it will expand and possibly explode. If a greater concentration of fluid is inside the cell, then the cell will be in a hypertonic solution. Then the fluid will diffuse out of the cell and it will become shriveled up and lose it's effectiveness. When the right concentration of fluid is the same as inside the cell as outside, then the solution is isotonic (where the cell wants to be).

What kind of environment is described when the concentration of dissolved substances is greater inside the cell or outside?
When greater than the cell it is hypertonic lower it is hypotonic
There is a greater concentration of na plus and there is a greater concentration of k plus in the cell?
There is a greater concentration of Na plus outside and there is a greater concentration of K plus inside the cell. When the stimulus is delivered, the permeability of the membrane is changed, and Na plus diffuses into the cell, initiating the depolarization of the membrane.
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

How did those substances go into the water outside the dialysis?
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.
What are the three types of osmosis?
1.] Isotonic - concentrationg is the same on the outside and inside [dynamic equilibrium] 2.] Hypotonic - concentration of substances lower outside the cell, water flows in, turgor pressure increases, and cell bursts 3.] Hypertonic - concentration of substances higher outside the cell, water flows out and cell shrinks
-------tonic means there is a greater concentration of solute molecules outside the cell than inside?
Hypertonic.

What happens in a cell transportation lab report?
When a cell membrane is said to be selectively permeable, it means that the cell membrane controls what substances pass in and out through the membrane. This characteristic of cell membranes plays a great role in passive transport. Passive transport is the movement of substances across the cell membrane without any input of energy by the cell. The energy for passive transport comes entirely from kinetic energy that the molecules have. The simplest type of passive transport is diffusion, which is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion moves down the concentration gradient, which is the difference in the concentration of molecules across a space. Osmosis is a type of diffusion in which water molecules move down the concentration gradient. When the concentration of solute molecules outside the cell is lower than the concentration of solute in the cytosol , the solution outside is hypotonic to the cytosol. If the concentration of solute molecules is higher outside of the cell, the solution outside is said to be hypertonic. The solution outside is isotonic if the concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane.
