hypotonic solution
whay caused a gallbladder to shrink
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
If you place the cell in a hypertonic solution (a solution with a higher concentration of salt than the cell) the cell membrane would shrink.
Cells can shrink due to dehydration, loss of nutrients, or exposure to hypertonic solutions (higher solute concentration outside the cell). This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to a decrease in cell volume.
What causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water leaving the cell by osmosis, causing it to shrink.
hypertonic :)
make the cell shrink
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
Undergoing dehydration or plasmolysis due to loss of water. This can occur when the cell is placed in a hypertonic environment where water is drawn out of the cell, causing the cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall.
it makes cell size shrink
Plant cells have rigid cell walls made of cellulose that provide structural support and prevent the cell from shrinking in a hypertonic solution (like a salt solution). The cell wall maintains the cell's shape and prevents excessive water loss by osmosis. Animal cells do not have cell walls and will shrink in a hypertonic solution due to water loss.
