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 reaction does the enzyme involved in Mannitol-salt agar test mediate?
Mannitol salt agar is selective for gram positive bacteria, and differential for mannitol fermenters. Phenol red is the indicator containing the enzyme mannitol.
What type of leaf edge is toothed?
crenate
Does E. faecalis test positive for MSA agar test?
yes it will ferment the mannitol and cause yellow color change.
Glucose mannitol and sorbitol are all types of WHAT?
Glucose mannitol and sorbitol are both types of sugar.
What does the word crenate mean when used in regards to cells?
shrink
What would happen to your cells if the fluid outside our cells became hypertonic?
water would move from the red blood cell into the solution and the cell would then shrink and therefore not function properly

What is mannitol therapy?
Mannitol is used to treat cerebral edema (swelling of brain cells - this does not make you smart, this makes you have coma). Mannitol has the ability to increase plasma osmolality but cannot pass through cell membrane. When plasma ormolality is higher than the cell osmolality due to Mannitol in plasma, the cell tries to balance it by letting water pass through cell membrane into plasma. This reduces edema.
Why is only mannitol used in ashby's mannitol broth?
MANNITOL IS CARBON SOURCE & AZOTOBACTER can fix nitrogen non- symbiotically
HOW do mannitol salt hook up to glycolysis?
Mannitol is not a substrate for glycolisis

What will happen if one of your red blood cells is placed in an environment with a lot of salt?
The water will flow out of the cell into the hypertonic solution and the red blood cell will crenate (crush).
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 9.0 percent NaCl?
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).
