A hypertonic solution.


What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?

Cells placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water will tend to lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This can lead to dehydration and potential cell damage.


Two cells were placed in a container containing liquid X they both shrunk what is liquid X?

Liquid X is likely a hypertonic solution, meaning it has a higher solute concentration than the cells. When cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, water leaves the cells to try to equalize the concentration, causing them to shrink in a process called plasmolysis.


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


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.


What happens is a cell is placed in salt water?

Is sucrose hypertonic?

Yes, sucrose is considered hypertonic because it has a higher solute concentration compared to the solution it is placed in, causing water to move out of the cells through osmosis.


A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called?

A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called hypertonic. This means that the solute concentration in the solution is higher compared to the solute concentration inside the cell. Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will lose water and shrink due to osmosis.

What type of solution is hypertonic?

Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.


What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 9 percent NaCl?

Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).


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).
