isotonic solution is when the cell content has the same solute potential as the solution the cell is in. therefore no net movement of molecules.
when a animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution containing less solute particles than inside cell e.g water) molecules move from a high water potential to a low one because diffusion. net movement is into the cell. because of this the cell swells and eventually burst. this is osmotic shock.
in a hypertonic solution the net movement is out of the cell. the cell shrinks this is called crenation.
plant cell have a cell wall so in a hypotonic solution the cell swells but doesn't not burst because of the strong structure of the cellulose cell wall.the cell becomes turgid.
in a hypertonic solution the net movement is out of the cell because of the high solute conc outside the cell. the cell membrane begins to pull away from the cell wall. the cell is plasmolysed. when fully plasmolysed it is irreversible.

Is a toadstool a plant or an animal?
Sometimes toadstools grow on rotted or moist trees. They tend to prefer the ground around trees and mossy damp areas.

To keep from bursting and dying what must a Paramecium do in a hypotonic environment?
A Paramecium has a plasma membrane that is much less permeable to water than other membranes of most cells. The Paramecium cell is also equipped with a contractile vacuole, an organelle that functions to force water out of the cell as fast as it enters by osmosis. -AP Biology Student

Where can you find the scarf in animal jam?
In Animal Jam, you can trade for the Jamaaliday Scarf. If you prefer, you can buy it from the store for 350 gems.
Is the dugong a Antarctica animal?
No, dugongs are related to the manatee, and they prefer warmer waters.
Is the kangaroo a desert animal?
No, kangaroos prefer grasslands rather than deserts.
Do Animal Trainers need to have a College Education?
Most employers prefer their staff to have a college or university degree, even for the position of animal trainer. In Australia, for example, many places such as SeaWorld or various animal zoos and sanctuaries prefer their trainers to have a degree or to have at least completed some coursework in any of the the fields of Animal Husbandry, Animal Science, Zoology, Biology, Marine biology or Animal behavior or psychology.
Which animal fibre will you prefer to wear during winters and why?
I would like to prefer the wool fibre which is obtained from the fleece of the sheep and it is the good conductor of heat
What is the good website for study?
in google chrome we can find any solutions for any type of problems it is better to prefer google chrome..
What are animals diets all over the world?
What an animal's diet is, depends on whether the animal is a carnivore, herbivore or an omnivore. Carnivores prefer to eat meat. Herbivores prefer to eat plant (vegetarian animal) and Omnivores don't mind both. They can survive on meat or plants, either way is fine for them...
