In a hypertonic solution there is a higher concentration of a solute than another. Water diffuses out of the cell making it shrivel up.
What else can I help you with?
What are the effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells?
Hypertonic solutions are solutions that have a higher concentration than that of its immediate environment. The effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells is crenation in animal cells and plasmolysis in plant cells.
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
What type of solution is hypertonic?
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.
Does a hypertonic solution have more water compared to other types of solutions?
No, a hypertonic solution has less water compared to other types of solutions.
What's the difference between isotonic and hypertonic solutions"?
Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cells, while hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes than the cells.
When comparing two solutions the solution with the greater concentration of the solutes is called?
its called hypertonic
Is D5 water a hypertonic solution?
D5W is hypertonic to solutions containing less than 5% dextrose.
Is a hypertonic solution is likely to contain many electrolytes?
Yes, solutions with a high percentage of electrolytes would be considered hypertonic.
What are 5 types of solutions?
There are many different types of solutions. Some examples of different solutions are isotonic solutions, hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions.
What kind of water potential do hypertonic solutions have?
Hypertonic solutions have a lower water potential compared to the surrounding medium. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage or crenation.
What are the examples of hypertonic solutions with their effects?
Saline solution with a highter concentration the 0.9% are hypertonic as are soutions that contain 10% dextrose. Combinations of hypertonic solutions are 0.9% NACl with 5% Dextrose or higher. These solutions when given IV will draw fluid out of the cells or intersticial tissues and into the blood stream then ideally will be forced through the kidneys into the urine for evacuation. If a person has overhydration, or edema a hypertonic solution may be used to draw it out.
Cells lose water when placed in which of the following solutions?
A hypertonic solution.
