If a cell contains 97 percent water is placed into a 30 percent sugar solution what will happen to the cell?

The sugar solution is a hypertonic solution so water from the inside will exit through the cell membrane via osmosis and the cell will shrivel

What would happen if a cell is placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution?
get larger and then smaller again
What will happen when a gram positive bacterium is placed in a aqueous solution of lysozyme and 10 percent sucrose?
The cell of Gram+ bacteria will break down against lysozyme and the cell will be injured but when it placed in sucrose the nutrient will be absorbed by the surface
What will happen to human red blood cells if they are placed in the ringer solution?
_crenate
Human red blood cells placed in a 2 percent percent salt solution appear to shrink but those placed in a 0.4 percent salt solution burst Which statement best supports these observation?
Osmosis may occur in either direction across the cell membrane.
A cell with 1 percent solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 5 percent solute concentration What will happen to this cell over time?
Water would move from the cell into the solution until an equilibrium reached.
What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in 50 percent salt solution?
It will shrink.
What would happen if you placed a peeled apple in a 5 percent salt solution?
It would get salty! duhhh
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 will happen if a red blood cell is placed in 50 percent NaCl solution?
A red blood cell, when placed in 50% NaCl solution, will shrink as the water contained in it will be sucked into the surrounding solution doe to the osmotic pressure difference.
What would happen if a cell is placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution?
get larger and then smaller again
Cell that contains 50 percent water is placed in a solution that is 30 percent water The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they both contain how much water?
The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they each contain 40 percent water. This equilibrium is achieved through osmosis.
What can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain?

A bag with a 2 percent solution is placed in a beaker that has a 10 percent solution is the solution in the bag hypotonic hypertonic or isotonic?
hypertonic
What will happen when raisins are placed in concentrated solution of sugar?
when raisins are placed in concentrated solution of sugarthen they will swell up
What happen to onion cell epidermis if placed in hypertonic solution?
Isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration as present in cell. So no osmosis will occur. Hence there will be a neutral effect.
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
What would happen if a cell containing 97 percent water were placed in a 10 percent salt solution?
Water would exit the cell causing the cell to shrink until an equilibrium is reached.
