Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard If left in a salt solution they become limp and soft From thsi you can deduce that thecells of the celery stalk?
hypotonic means dilute, hypertonic means concentrated. If celery becomes turgid in the fresh water then it is hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to sodium solution.
Does Water move into or out of a membrane bound hypotonic vesicle?
Into. Either hypotonic or hypertonic both tend to optimal tonicity. Hypotonic vesicles will welcome water while hypertonic vesicles will shed water.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
Hypertonic. This is because the water has a higher concentration of solutes than the potato.
Is saline plus bicarbonate a isotonic or hypertonic solution?
Sterility doesn't imply an isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic state. Pure water though is hypotonic, when compared to blood.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.

How Parameciun could survive in freshwater which is hypotonic?
paramecium has an organelle called the contractile vacuole,since it is hypertonic water rushes in from its habitat but this vacuole excretes the water constantly so that the cell do not burst.
Does celery stay fresher in hypotonic water or hypertonic water?
Distilled water is hypotonic, which makes the celery fresher. NaCl solution is hypertonic to the celery cells making them limp.
What causes hypertonic and hypotonic?
The concentration of water in and out of a cell.
Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
Hypertonic. This is because the water has a higher concentration of solutes than the potato.
Is ocean water hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic. The concentration of dissolved salts is higher in ocean water than in human cells.
Is the cell below in a hypertonic or hypotonic?
Hypotonic means higher amount of h20 and hypertonic means a smaller amount of h20. If the cell was for example in saltwater and it isn't meant to live in salt water, the inside of the cell would be hypotonic and outside would be hypertonic
Is saline plus bicarbonate a isotonic or hypertonic solution?
Sterility doesn't imply an isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic state. Pure water though is hypotonic, when compared to blood.
To keep from bursting and dying what must a Paramecium do in a hypotonic environment?
A Paramecium has a plasma membrane that is much less permeable to water than other membranes of most cells. The Paramecium cell is also equipped with a contractile vacuole, an organelle that functions to force water out of the cell as fast as it enters by osmosis. -AP Biology Student
