Why is a sports drink used to extract the cheek cells?
its isotonic.
What term describes the condition plant cells require?
hypertonic
What does the loss of isotonic solution lead to?
The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.
What type of environment do cells function best?
Isotonic
Do cells shrink in isotonic solution?
No, but in salt solution: Yes.
What cells need isotonic solutions to be at homeostasis?
Animal cells require several things to maintain homeostasis. First is a method of active transport across the cell membrane. Second is a method to store waste inside the cell while it waiting to be transported.
What happens when you put plant or animal cells in isotonic?
i think that it will divide and make a better cell then it will die
A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be?
A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be is isotonic.
What correctly describes the normal tonicity conditions for typical plant and animal cells?
The animal cell is in an isotonic solution, and the plant cell is in a hypotonic solution
An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is a?
An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is .85% sodium chloride. When the osmotic pressure is the same outside the cells and inside the cells, the solution is isotonic.
Why is a sports drink used to extract the cheek cells?
its isotonic.
In isotonic solution cells reach a point called dynamic?
In isotonic solution cells reach a point called dynamic equilibrium.
What term describes the condition plant cells require?
hypertonic
Why should the cells in the body be in isotonic condition at all times?
If the cells are not isotonic, they are not in equilibrium. If the cell was in a hypertonic environment, the cell would become lysed and burst. If the cell was in a hypotonic environment, the cell would be deprived of fluids and shrivel. EX: when we take baths, our cells in our fingers absorb water and get pruny. when our cells are depleted or are starting to shrivel, we crave water to replenish them.
What happens to a cell in a isotonic solution?
the plasma membranes water flows at an equal rate. animal cells function the best in an isotonic environment. in an isotonic environment the blood cells stay normal and do not get lyced (which happens in hypotonic environments) and they do not shrivel (which happens in hypertonic environments).
Are animal cells always in an isotonic state?
Absolutely not. In the biological world, most processes strive towards equilibrium, though it hardly ever occurs.
What does the loss of isotonic solution lead to?
The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.
