∙ 13y agowater moves out of the cell in a hypertonic solution. water moves out in order for solution to move in and create equilibrium. so water out, solution in.

What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to ___
Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.
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
What kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
Two cells were placed in a container containing liquid X they both shrunk what is liquid X?
Liquid X is a hypertonic solution, such as very salt water. There are other examples of solutions that are hypertonic to cells.

Cells lose water when placed in which of the following solutions?
A hypertonic solution.

What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
What happens is a cell is placed in salt water?
Try it yourself !
What type of solution is hypertonic?
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.
What would happen if fluid outside the cells became hypertonic?
Acell placed in a highly concentrated solution will result in the water molecules diffusing out of the cell. Eventually, the cell will shrink. It should be noted, however, that not all cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. The cells have ways to circumvent hypertonicity (see osmoregulation).
What does plasmolysis explain?
Plasmolysis contraction of the protoplasm in a living cell when water is removed by exosmosis. The process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution.
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 90 percent NaCI?
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.
