If a cell contains 97 percent water is placed into a 30 percent sugar solution what will happen to the cell?
The sugar solution is a hypertonic solution so water from the inside will exit through the cell membrane via osmosis and the cell will shrivel
What would happen if a cell is placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution?
get larger and then smaller again
A cell with 1 percent solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 5 percent solute concentration What will happen to this cell over time?
Water would move from the cell into the solution until an equilibrium reached.
What will happen to a freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water Will water enter or leave the cell?
It will leave the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
What would happen to a cheek cell if it was placed in a petri dish full of salt water?
penis...
What would happen if a cell containing 97 percent water were placed in a 10 percent salt solution?
Water would exit the cell causing the cell to shrink until an equilibrium is reached.

What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in 50 percent salt solution?
It will shrink.
What will happen to freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water?
Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
A cell contains 3 percent salt and 97 percent water How would this cell respond if placed in a distilled water solution?
It has something to do with osmosis....
What will happen if a red blood cell is placed in 50 percent NaCl solution?
A red blood cell, when placed in 50% NaCl solution, will shrink as the water contained in it will be sucked into the surrounding solution doe to the osmotic pressure difference.
What will happen if a bacterial cell is placed in distilled water with lysozyme?
lysozyme will diffuse in to the cell
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
What will happen to a freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water Will water enter or leave the cell?
It will leave the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
A cell containing 98 percent water in its cytoplasm is placed in a 2 percent salt solution It should?
It loses water
