What happens to a cell plant cell or animal cell when placed in following solution a hypotonic solution b isotonic solution c hypertonic solution?
When placed in an isotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is roughly equal to the that within cells), there is equal diffusion of water into and out of the cells. Therefore, the cells find this environment suitable. In a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is much more than that within cells) water diffuses into cells as a result of which the cells swell. Excessive swelling causes the cells to burst, a phenomenon called cell lysis In a hypertonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is lesser than that within cells) water moved out from within cells to the surrounding medium. As a result of this, cells shrink.
What happens to the distribution of chloroplasts during plasmolysis?
The chloroplasts have clumped into the middle. This demonstrates the effect on a hypertonic solution on living cells. :)
What happens if the alcohol treated cell is kept in hypertonic solution?
remains same as alcohol prevents water loss from the cells
What happens is a cell is placed in salt water?
Try it yourself !
What is a Isotopic Fractionation?
Separation of a mixture according its isotopic composition.
What happens to cells in saltwater?
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
What happens when cells plasmolyze?
i dont know.......maybe a hypotonic solution!
What happens to both plant and animal cells when they are placed into a solution that is hypotonic?
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid

What happens when carrot is boiled and then placed in concentrated salt solution?
the cells are dead so the potato whould not perform any movement
What happens to potato strip in dilute water?
This depends on the concentration of the salt solution. If the water potential of the salt solution is greater (less concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move into the potato cells, increasing the size of the potato strip. If the water potential of the salt solution is lower (more concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move out of the potato cells in the salt solution, decreasing the size of the potato strip.
What happens to a cell in a isotonic solution?
the plasma membranes water flows at an equal rate. animal cells function the best in an isotonic environment. in an isotonic environment the blood cells stay normal and do not get lyced (which happens in hypotonic environments) and they do not shrivel (which happens in hypertonic environments).
What is an isotopic mixture?
explain the mechanism of diffusion in the separation of isotopic mixtures
