When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?

If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.


What is hypotonic solution?

A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.

it swells and burst


What is a hypotonic solution?

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the solution it is being compared to. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure.


What happens when cells plasmolyze?

i dont know.......maybe a hypotonic solution!


Which solution has more solute-hypo or hypertonic?

A hypertonic solution has more solute compared to a hypotonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher, causing water to move out of the cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower, which leads to water moving into the cells.


What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?

When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.


What would happen to your cell if a hypotonic solution is place directly into your blood stream?

Swell and possibly burst depending on how hypotonic the solution was and how much of it was injected. However the human body has evolved many simple and complex ways to deal with these situations and therefore a small amount of hypotonic solution will likely cause no effect to your cells.


A solution that contains a lower concentration of salt than living red blood cells would be?

A solution containing a lower concentration of salt than living red blood cells would be a hypotonic solution. This means that the solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the red blood cells, causing them to swell and potentially burst due to the influx of water.


Effect of hypotonic?

A hypotonic solution (meaning the salt concentration is lower outside the cell than it is on the inside) will effectively burst your cells due to the water rushing in to diffuse in the salt in your cells.


What is hypotonic salt solution?

A hypotonic salt solution has a lower concentration of salt compared to the fluid in cells. When cells are placed in a hypotonic salt solution, water diffuses into the cells, causing them to swell and possibly burst due to osmotic pressure. It is often used in biological experiments to study the effects of osmosis on cells.
