What solution that causes a cell to swell cause of osmosis?
Solution causes a cell to swell by osmosis
An animal cell that surrounded by fresh water will burst because osmosis causes?
water to move into the cell
A red blood cell will shrink in size when placed in a more concentrated salt solution because of the passive process called?
Osmosis
How does osmosis occur in an egg cell?
Osmosis occurs in an egg cell if you place it in liquids. If you put it in vinegar, the egg's shell will start to dissolve. Then, you can test osmosis in water or salt water. Because the egg is considered a cell, it will swell the egg cell with plain water (meaning it will increase the egg's mass). With salt water, the egg cell will shrink in mass.
What are the results when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.

What is it called when it causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
CRENATION An animal cell shrinks by crenation when it is placed in a hypertonic solution (the solution has more "stuff" in it than the cell.) The water from the cell moves out to the solution in an attempt to equilibrate the concentrations. In so doing, it shrivels and becomes CRENATED. Conversely, an animal cell expands and bursts in a process called LYSIS. Opposite to crenation this occurs in a hypotonic solution. Water from the solution moves into the cell in an attempt to equilibrate. The internal pressure becomes to great and the cell lyses.

What causes the separation of the cell membrane from one or more sides of the cell?
osmosis/ plasmolysis
Which red blood cell has been placed in a hypertonic solution?
The cell would shrink and crinkle (crenation) due to all the water leaving the cell through osmosis. Crenated cells look like the edges of serrated leaves.
What cause Shrinking of the cytoplasm due to osmosis?
A hypertonic solution outside the cell is drawing out the water osmotically through the membrane. Solute/solvent where one is highly concentrated, solute, you will find water, the cell's solvent with the solute. Solute " sops " up free water molecules, so to speak.
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes?
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmotic pressure causesAn animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes the cytoplasm is hypertonic where it will absorb water hence swells leading it to burst.
How does a plant cell fight osmosis in a hypotonic solution?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water - and a hypotonic solution means it expands. a plant cell sap has a lower water potential causing the water to enter the cell - it does not fight osmosis, it works with it.
