What else can I help you with?
How will the movement of water affect a cell if it's transferred from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution?
The cell will shrink in size..
Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
What happens when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?
Nothing. There would be no gradient between the cell and the solution.
How would adding salt to the isotonic soulution above affect the cell?
when a cell is placed in a salt solution that means the cell has less osmotic pressure than the sorroundings so water will move from the cell to the cell to the solution and hence the cell will be dilated when the cell is placed in water that means the cell has higher osmotic pressure and water will move to the cell making it turgid and burst if its animal cell it wont burts in plants because they have cell walls
What solution would make a red blood cell swell?
A hypotonic solution would.
Which type of solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water leaving the cell by osmosis, causing it to shrink.
What would happen if an cell was placed in a hypertonic solution?
It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.
In which kind of solution would water move from the solution into the cell?
Hypotonic.
Does volume of solution affect the cell voltage of galvanic cells?
I think it would only increase the duration of the reaction, because you increase the starting materials, while the concentrations stay the same. At a microscopic level it's easy to visualise: The reaction is fueled by the ions interacting with the surface of the metal rod in the solution. If the volume of solute increases, the rate of interacting ions would stay the same. A higher concentration would be a solution where the ions are closer to eachother, so per area, interactions with the metal rod would increase and therefore the rate of the reaction would increase.
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
Why does a cell swell in a hypnotic solution?
A cell swells in a hypotonic solution because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside the cell. This difference in concentration causes water to move into the cell through osmosis, as water moves from areas of lower solute concentration to areas of higher solute concentration. As water continues to enter the cell, it expands, leading to swelling. If the influx of water is excessive, the cell may eventually burst, a process known as lysis.
What makes cytoplasm in a plant cell shrink?
If you place the cell in a hypertonic solution (a solution with a higher concentration of salt than the cell) the cell membrane would shrink.
