A red blood cell would swell if its surrounding solution were?
Hypotonic. If the solution had a lesser salt concentration, the cell would suck in more water to even out the salt levels inside vs outside the cell in the solution... it would suck in water, which would cause it to swell up.
What effect does isotonic solution have on the liver?
Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave a liver, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a liver, an isotonic solution water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)
Water enters a cell when the solution surrounding the cell is?
Hypotonic- i think. Hypertonic is when it shrinks and Lyses is when the cell burts from swelling too much. We did it with blood cells in my Anatomy and Physiology class.
What place does water leave a lake to enter another body of water?
A lake generally overflows at a location where the surrounding land is lowest.
What effect does isotonic solution have on an egg?
Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave an egg, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a egg, an isotonic solution (where inside the egg and outside the egg the solute concentration is equal) water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)
How does ammonia react in a water solution?
It dissolves easily in water to form ammonium hydroxide solution which can cause irritation and burns.
What process cause the water to enter or leave the cell?
the process that causes the water to enter and leave the cell is diffusion
Why does water enter a cell that is placed in a hypotonic solution?
water enters a cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell.
What type of solution causes water to enter and exit at the same rate?
An isotonic one. (having the exact same water potential as the adjacent medium) (isotonic solution)
Why is ocean water a solution?
yes cause its a homogeneous mixture
Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
What type of solution around the cell would cause the osmotic flow of water illustrated in diagram 2?
solution with the same water concentration
