What else can I help you with?
Tissue swelling that results from water accumulating between cells is known as?
edema
What is a mixture of of water and living cells?
A mixture of water and living cells is known as a suspension, where the cells are suspended in the water but are not dissolved. This mixture can commonly be found in biological systems such as blood or cytoplasm within cells.
Where is interstitial water found?
Between cells.
Most water enters and leaves cells by?
Water moves between cells by osmosis, down a concentration gradient.
What transports material with a cell and between cells?
water
What is the Water that is found in the space between cells and blood vessels?
The water found in the space between cells and blood vessels is known as interstitial fluid. This fluid serves as a medium for the exchange of nutrients, gases, and waste products between blood and cells. It plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue hydration and homeostasis, as well as facilitating cellular communication. Interstitial fluid is a key component of the extracellular fluid compartment in the body.
Cells that are the main water-conducting cells of a plant are?
tracheids and vessel members, also known as "Xylem tubes"
Which is the most abundant chemical found in living cells?
Water is the most abundant chemical found in living cells, making up about 70% or more of the cell's composition.
What will happen to cells if they are left in distelled water?
If cells are placed in distilled water, they will undergo osmosis, where water moves into the cells due to a lower concentration of solutes outside compared to inside the cells. This influx of water can cause the cells to swell and potentially burst, a process known as lysis, particularly in animal cells. Plant cells may become turgid, which is beneficial for maintaining structure, but excessive water can also lead to cell damage.
What cell takes in water?
The cell that takes in water is known as the osmosis in plant cells. Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides of the membrane.
What happens to plant cells when you put salt water on them?
When plant cells are exposed to salt water, water moves out of the cells through osmosis, causing the cells to lose turgor pressure and shrink. This process is known as plasmolysis. Continued exposure to salt water can eventually lead to the death of the plant cells.
How does water loss effect human cells?
It causes them to shrink as they "donate" the water inside them into the circulation, a process known as osmosis.
