Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
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.
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.
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the-?
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the solute.
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 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
Are saltwater fish hypotonic or hypertonic?
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.
What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?
They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.
