When the elodea leaf is moved from salt solution n placed back in water what happens to the cells?

When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).


What would happen to your cells in your body if you drink salt water?

you become dehydrated because thwe concentration of salt is in salt water than in your cells, so water flows out of your cells to balance the concentrations.

How does the water in the cells behave when in high or low concentrations of water?

In high solute concentrations water will flow out of the cell. In low solute concentrations water will flow into the cell.


How do you have your balance not show in all cells in your balance column?

Do not put a formula in the cells where you do not want to show a balance.

Are two cells with identical solute concentrations isotonic to each other?

Two cells with identical solute concentrations are isotomic to each other is true when it comes to osmosis. Osmosis also obeys the laws of diffusion.
