A cell contains 3 percent salt and 97 percent water How would this cell respond if placed in a distilled water solution?
It has something to do with osmosis....
What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
What is the effect of the NaCL 0.3 percent in red blood cell?
WATER movies across the cell membrane by Osmosis
What transport type is osmosis?
osmosis is something with water
Is distilled water homogenous?
In fact, it isn't even a mixture. Ice cubes and distilled water both are just water in two different states.
Why distilled water is provided to germinating seed?
if seeds are grown in distilled water then it increases rate of osmosis.
Does a plant grow better watered with well water distilled water or tap water?
Tap water. Distilled water contains no salts and therefore no nutrition for the plant. In reality distilled water would not be able to be absorbed by osmosis into the root system of the plant - as osmosis relies on the differences in concentration of minerals dissolved in the water to work.
What can be done to clean drinking water?
It can be filtered, distilled, or purified by reverse osmosis.
Would osmosis have a higher concentration of water molecules distilled water or red blood cells?
distlled water
What happens to the cells when the salt water is flushed out with distilled water?
osmosis ocurs and water moves into the cell, expanding the membrane.
If plant cells are immersed in distilled water the resulting movement of water into the cells is called?
The process is called osmosis.
Why not inject distilled water into arm?
This will increase the water potential of the blood, and cause your blood cells to burst due to osmosis.
Do raisins kept in distilled water swell up?
Yes, the raisins will swell due to osmosis, where the solvent goes from a low solute concentration to a higher solute concentration, which in this case, is from the distilled water to inside the raisin.
What is the process called when diluting red blood cells in distilled water?
I think its osmosis because the water potential in the distilled water is higher than in the red blood cell. Henceforth, water would move into the cell by osmosis. But, I don't think the cell will be diluted because it will swell and eventually haemolysis will occur.
What might be done to improve osmosis in red onion cell experiment?
It is the salt solution and distilled water
Do animal cell and plant cell get bigger in distilled water?
If animal cells are placed in distilled water they will absorb water by the process called osmosis. This will make the cell swell and, if it doen not stop, eventually burst. Plant cells placed in distilled water will also absorb water by osmosis but the cell wall prevents them from swelling. Water enters the cells by osmosis because the concentration of the solution inside the cells is higher than that of the 'solution' outside. Water always moves by osmosis from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution (when they are separated by a membrane which lets water through but not dissolved substances).

Is drinking of distill water harmful for health?
distilled water, reverse osmosis water are the best kind of waters to drink compared to tap water
