When a cell undergos lysis what is the name of the solution?

hypotonic, =contains less salt(natrium)than the cell,


What is the difference between lysis and plasmolysis?

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell. This is called lysis. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell (causing it to shrink). This is called plasmolysis.


Effect of hypotonic?

A hypotonic solution (meaning the salt concentration is lower outside the cell than it is on the inside) will effectively burst your cells due to the water rushing in to diffuse in the salt in your cells.


What is it called when a animal cell swells and bursts when entering water?

It's called Lysis or a cell


Which organism normally uses contractile vacuole to help maintain water balance?

Protists, in general, and the paramecium in particular. These filament surrounded vacuoles, powered by motor proteins and ATP, allow the paramecium to exist in hypotonic conditions by sloughing off the water entering the cell and avoiding cell lysis.


What is it called when animal cells burst?

When animal cells burst it's called lysis.


Why do cells or lyse when placed in hypotonic solution?

Hypotonic means that the solution has a lower solute concentration than the concentration inside the cell. Therefore, water is drawn into the cell along the osmotic gradient. The cell swells up. Eventually, it causes lysis of the cell (the cell explodes) when there is too much extra water in the cell.


Is D5 0.3 naCl a hypotonic solution?

That depends entirely on what is in this solution. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a semi-permeable membrane. Relative to a plant cell or e.g. a red blood cell the named solution of 0.3x10-5M NaCl is hypotonic, but compared to sea water it is hyper. A hypotonic solution contains a lesser concentration of impermeable solutes than the the inside cell. When a cell's cytoplasm is bathed in a hypotonic solution the water will be drawn out of the solution and into the cell by osmosis. If water molecules continue to diffuse into the cell, it will cause the cell to swell, up to the point that lysis (rupture) may occur.
