What will happen to a cell dropped into a solution of hypertonic salt water?
A cell immersed is a hypertonic solution will tend to lose water to the solution and shrink.
What are the results when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
What kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
What occurs when cells lose water and shrink?
Plasmolysis occurs when cells lose water and shrink. It refers to the process wherein water is lost in a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution.
How red blood cell behave in sucrose solution?
Water from cell moves out into the solution by process of Exocytosis, hence it shrinks.

When would a cell shrink?
Cells would shrink if they were placed in a salty environment. Salt has a lower phi, or water pressure, than the interior of the cell, and the water in the cell would naturally flow out of it through osmosis. The cell would become hyper-osmotic in respect to the environment around it.
What would happen if you put an animal cell into a solution with a greater water concentration than the cell?
hello?
A cell with 1 percent solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 5 percent solute concentration What will happen to this cell over time?
Water would move from the cell into the solution until an equilibrium reached.
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 90 percent NaCI?
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.
What is the term used to describe the type of solution in which cells will lose water to their environment?
Cells immersed in hypertonic solutions lose water and shrink, or crenate.
What is the term used to describe a type of solution in which cells will lose water to their environment?
Cells immersed in hypertonic solutions lose water and shrink, or crenate.
Solution that causes a cell to swell?
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
