What is the effect of the salt solution on the red blood cells in hyper tonic?
Red blood cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. This occurs as water moves out of the red blood cell.
What are the results if you put a plant cell and an animal cell in a hyper tonic solution?
they die
Is it a hyper tonic cells if water will enter the cell by osmosis?
Yes .
WHAT happen if plant cell is placed n hyper tonic solution?
cell walls rupture
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
simple diffusion. When you surround a cell with water the water diffuses through the cell membrane causing it to swell and burst. The opposite is hyper tonic.
When red blood cell bursts what is it called?
After it bursts, it will fall onto the tissue and eventually turn into tissue.
What does hypertonic mean in a cell?
Hyper tonic means when one part of a cell has a higher activity of fluids from the higher chance of solute
What is function of hypo tonic solution?
This are the types of molecules wherein the movement of water is from outside going to inside that makes the cell bursts or swell.
What would happen to a blood cell placed in a hyper tonic salt solution?
It would crenate (shrivel up). The water within would exit the cell to attempt to balance the excess salt concentration in the solution.
What is the difference between hypo and hypertonic?
Hypo- tonic is a state in which the amount of solute (essentailly ions) inside a cell is less than the amount of solute outside a cell. In this situation a cell will take in water in order to take in more solute and eventually reach a state of equilibrium, or isotonic. Hyper- tonic is a state in which the amount of solute inside a cell is more than the amount outside the cell. The cell will lose water in this case in an effort to remove more ions and reach a state of ion concentration equal with the environment.
Why does a plant cell shrink when put in hyper tonic solution?
they don't because they have a cell wall. they have what we call plasmolisis. which is when the it looses water (because of the concentration gradient)
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink or swell?
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
