Water moves according to an concentration gradient. Water potential gradient between two places
Osmosis
If a freshwater bacterial cell is placed in salt water, water will leave the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding salt water. This process is known as plasmolysis, and it can lead to the bacterial cell shriveling up and potentially dying due to dehydration.
no, putting a cell in a solution with a high concentration of salt will cause all the water to leave the cell, called dessication, which kills the cell.
If the plant is not a salt water plant, then plasmolysis will occur when you pour salt on a plant.When you pour salt on a plant water molecules inside the cell are drawn out. When the water molecules leave the cell, the cell becomes dehydrates and shrinks. This is called plasmolysis.
Water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink and shrivel.
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
Through the process of osmosis, the water inside the cell would leave the cell in order to equalize the concentration of water relative to salt in and outside the cell. The cell would shrink. Salt is not passing through at all.
They will both evaporate but the water with salt in it will leave the salt behind and it will once again become clean water. It will also leave other impurities out.
osmosis, which is diffusion of water across a membrane from an area with lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
Yes, if you leave it outside the water can evaporate leaving the salt behind.
The overwhelming extracellular Na+ would make water leave the cell, causing it to shrivel.Water comes out of the cell to develop equilibrium.
