What else can I help you with?
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to a freshwater river. What takes place in the salmon's cells as it moves?
The cells fill with water because of the movement of water by osmosis. (APEX)
How does the movement of water affect plant cells?
Cells are affected by the movement of water by the diffusion of water that goes in and out of the cell will tell you how it functions.
Where to find water movement in plant cell?
In the xylem cells
If plant cells are immersed in distilled water the resulting movement of water into the cells is called?
The movement of water into plant cells when they are immersed in distilled water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration.
What is symplastic water movement?
Symplastic water movement is the movement of water through plant cells via the symplast, which includes the interconnected cytoplasm of neighboring cells through plasmodesmata. This pathway allows water to move from cell to cell within the plant without having to cross cell membranes.
What controls the movement of food and water in and out of cells?
A channel in the cell's plasma membrane.
What is the direction of water movement in a cylinder of potato tissue in distilled water?
In a cylinder of potato tissue placed in distilled water, the direction of water movement will be from the external solution (distilled water) into the potato tissue due to osmosis. This is because the potato cells have a higher solute concentration compared to the external solution, resulting in water moving into the cells to equalize the concentration gradient.
Does water pollution stop the movement of water?
Water pollution does not stop the movement of water, but it can affect the quality and health of the water. Pollutants can slow down the natural flow of water by clogging waterways or affecting the organisms living in the water, which can disrupt ecosystems and harm wildlife.
What is the movement of water in and out of the cell called?
The movement in and out of a cell is called active transport. Liquids inside cells contain different substances and there is movement in and out to maintain a proper balance of ions and molecules.
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to freshwater river what takes place in the salmon cells as it moves?
The cells fill with water because of the movement of water by osmosis. (APEX)
What would happen to a cell in an isotonic solution?
In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell. As a result, there is no net movement of water, and the cell maintains its normal shape and size.
Do animal cells swim through water?
Animal cells do not swim through water on their own, as they lack the structures like flagella or cilia that some microorganisms use for movement. However, they can be suspended in water, and they may move within a fluid environment due to external forces, such as the flow of the water or through interactions with other cells. In larger organisms, the movement of fluids in the body can help transport cells to different locations.
