What will happen to a freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water Will water enter or leave the cell?

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.


What are conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell?

If the concentration of water inside the cell is higher, water will leave the cell. This would happen if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.


What will happen to a red blood cell if placed in a bowl of concentrated salt solution?

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.


What would happen to the cells of a freshwater organism if it was placed in saltwater?

The concentration of water molecules outside the cell is lower than the concentration of the water molecules inside the cell. As a result, water moves out of the cell by osmosis. When water moves out, cells shrink. Put another way, the concentration of solute (salt) is higher outside the cell than inside. More water will flow out of the cell than into the cell through the cell membrane.


Predict what would happen if a saltwater plant were placed in a freshwater aquarium?

If a saltwater plant were placed in a freshwater aquarium, it would likely not survive due to the differences in salinity levels. Saltwater plants are adapted to living in environments with higher salt concentrations, and placing them in freshwater would disrupt their osmotic balance and lead to dehydration and eventual death.


Oceans are an example of a what solution?

I think hypertonic. Water would try to leave a cell placed in a solution of such a high salt concentration to try and compensate and would then shrink the cell.


Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a?

hypertonic solution, causing water to leave the cell and causing it to shrink and become distorted in shape.


What would happen if a cell was placed in a strong salt solution?

The overwhelming extracellular Na+ would make water leave the cell, causing it to shrivel.Water comes out of the cell to develop equilibrium.
