Because the addition of salt, the solution outside of the cell become hypertonic to the cell. This means that the water has left the cell because it was following the concentration gradient. Visually: all the chloroplasts which were originally lining the outside of the cell are now grouped in the middle of the cell because the cell has become shriveled.

∙ 11y agoThey would wither because the salt solution is a hypotonic solution. This meaning that there is more water concentration inside the elodea leafs, and less in the solution outside the cell, so the water inside the cell rushes out. Down the concentration gradient, causing the leafs to wither.

∙ 13y agoWell, the chloroplasts will all scrunch up together and it will look like one big chloroblast blob. you might even see them move, if you are lucky. :)

What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?
The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.
Onion cells and elodea cells structure differences?
An ELODEA cell is a PLANT cell. A HUMAN EPIDERMAIL cell is an ANIMAL cell. if you know that plant cells and animal cells have different organelles, then you should be good to go.
Why do onion and elodea cells have a more definite shape than the human cheek cells?
Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.
How is elodea different from tomato cells?
tomatos are good
Why are cutin stomata and guard cells absent in elodea?
Cutin, stomata and guard cells are used for water loss prevention. These are not needed because Elodea is a water plant.
Are Elodea plants freshwater or saltwater plants?
Elodea is a freshwater aquatic plant.
Which are smaller onion cells or elodea?
Elodea cells are smaller
What happens to cells in saltwater?
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
Is elodea cells organisms?
Is Elodea cell an organism?
What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?
The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.
What happens to the cells of an elodea leaf when mounted on 10 percent salt solution?
the elodea cells swell and the cell becimes fat and dies
Do Elodea cell have cytoplasm?
yes elodea cells do. They use it to move.
What cell has chloroplasts onion cell or elodea cell?
Both. Both cells are plant cells and plant cells have chloroplasts. (Elodea is the waterweeds)
Onion cells and elodea cells structure differences?
An ELODEA cell is a PLANT cell. A HUMAN EPIDERMAIL cell is an ANIMAL cell. if you know that plant cells and animal cells have different organelles, then you should be good to go.
What structure the cheeks cells and the Elodea cells have in common?
Both cells
Do elodea cells have chloroplasts?
yes
Are chloroplasts present in elodea oblong cells?
yes because the elodea is a plant cell
