A hypertonic solution is one with more dissolved substances/less water/higher osmotic potential than another fluid. A cell placed in a solution with a lower water potential than itself will undergo exosmosis/water will move out the cell.
Expel water. Hypotonic is an abundance of water and a low concentration of solutes...If a cell is bathed in a hypotonic solution...in order to regain homeostasis (balance) water will diffuse from the cell to equalize the amount of water and solutes. If, however, water continues to be added, the cells will swell up and eventually burst.
Hypotonic = high water concentration and low salt concentration
Therefore, due to the high water concentration water will diffuse into the cell and the cell will gain water. This is to create an equal electrochemical gradient between the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid
are you a maryhelper cause i dont know either smh
The cell lets out water so it becomes isotonic (same salinity as its surroundings)
hypertonicity casue cells to
swell
Cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to ___
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
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.

hypertonic solution!
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.
Try it yourself !

Hypertonic
Liquid X is a hypertonic solution, such as very salt water. There are other examples of solutions that are hypertonic to cells.
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.
