What happens when you soak a leaf in boil ling water for two minutes?
Soaking a leaf in boiling water for two minutes can cause the leaf to lose its color and become wilted. The heat can also break down the cell structure of the leaf, causing it to become mushy and lose its structural integrity.
Why is it important for the leaf to lose water?
Because, it may not store that much water, it would overflow, and die!
What is the hypothesis of osmosis lab elodea leaf?
The hypothesis of an osmosis lab with an Elodea leaf could be that the Elodea leaf will lose water and shrink when placed in a hypertonic solution due to water moving out of the leaf cells by osmosis, causing the cells to become flaccid. Conversely, if the Elodea leaf is placed in a hypotonic solution, it may gain water, swell, and become turgid as water moves into the leaf cells via osmosis.
Where are most of the stomates found in the dicot leaf?
Underside the leaf to conserve water, because if they are exposed to the sun, they can lose water very easily. This prevents excessive transpiration.
Why does a leaf go limp in hot water?
When a leaf is placed in hot water, its cells lose water through evaporation and transpiration at a faster rate than they can absorb water from the surroundings. This loss of water leads to a decrease in turgor pressure within the cells, causing the leaf to go limp. Additionally, the heat can also affect the proteins and enzymes within the leaf, disrupting their function and further contributing to the limpness.
What molecules diffuse out of a leaf?
Oxygen and water vapor are molecules that diffuse out of a leaf through tiny pores called stomata. Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis, while water vapor is a byproduct of transpiration, the process where plants lose water through their leaves.
What happens to a leaf cell if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?
The cell would lose water and the membrane would collapse.
What do you call a water lily leaf?
The water lily leaf does not have a special name. It can be referred to as a "water lily leaf' or as the leaf of a certain water lily species.
How is water absorbed by a leaf?
it doesn't the water absorbs the leaf
What would happen to a leaf if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?
The cells of lettuce leaf will be plasmolyzed due to exo osmosis.
What happens to the cells of an elodea leaf when mounted on 10 percent salt solution?
When an elodea leaf is mounted on a 10 percent salt solution, the cells of the leaf will lose water through osmosis. This will cause the cells to shrink and the leaf to become flaccid. The high salt concentration outside the cells will create a hypertonic environment, leading to water moving out of the cells to try to balance the concentration of solutes.
Why does the seed leaves mass decrease?
The mass of a seed leaf changes depending on the water and internal processes. When some seed leaves lose water due to transportation, they lose mass. Other will start to sprout and produce their own food, which cause them to gain mass.
