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.
Why does it matter if the root is in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution?
If the root is in hypotonic solution then the root will remain turgid. If placed in a hypertonic solution then the root will become flaccid over time.
What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
Why does a plant like celery get limp when placed in hypertonic solution?
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to ___
Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.
What would happen to an animal cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?
You need dayan 2 hours
What are the results when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
What causes cytosis?
when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. Hypertonic or hypotonic, but I'm pretty sure hypertonic :)
Cell is placed in a solution If the cell is observed to shrink the solution must be relative to the interior of the cell?
hypertonic
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 happens to a animal cell when in a hypertonic solution?
1. When a plant cell is immersed in a solution with low water potential, the water potential of its cell sap is higher than that of the solution outside its cell.2. water will leave the cell by osmosis. As the cell loses water the vacuole decreases in size and the cytoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall.3. the shrinkage of cytoplasm and cell membrane away from the cell wall is known as plasmolyses or dehydrated cell. the cell is said to be plasmolysed. A plasmolysed cell can be restored to its original state by placing it in water or in a solution with high water potential.
Water moves out of a cell if it is placed in this kind of solution?
hypertonic solution!
Crenation occurs when blood is placed in a?
hypertonic solution
