What happens to elodea cells mounted in salt solution?

They would wither because the salt solution is a hypotonic solution. This meaning that there is more water concentration inside the elodea leafs, and less in the solution outside the cell, so the water inside the cell rushes out. Down the concentration gradient, causing the leafs to wither.


Do Elodea cells have starch?

if starch is present in a substance, the solution IKI when combined will turn the substance a blue-black color. When the plant Elodea was combined with IKI the elodea did not turn a blue-black color. Hence elodea does not contain starch.


What is the scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells placed in a hypotonic solution?

plasmolysis


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).


When NaHco3 is added to an elodea plant what happens?

Photosynthesis occurs and oxygen bubbles are produced.


Would you see the same effect in elodea cells if you used a glucose solution instead of a water solution?

you would not see the same effect because there is sugar in one and not in the other


Will the elodea leaf swells up if it's kept in 5 of saline water?

Yes, the Elodea leaf will swell up if it is kept in 5 percent saline water. It causes its cells to swell, which usually causes it to die.
