What happens to a cell when it is placed into a solution that is hypo-tonic to it?

Water moves into the cell by osmosis.
If it is a plant cell, it will become fully turgid.
If it is an animal cell, the cell will become larger and larger and will eventually burst.

What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
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.
Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a?
Hypotonic solution
What happens to a cell when it is place in a hypotonic solution?
The cell explodes!
What happens to cells placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions using diagrams?
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What happens to plant cells when placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
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.
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.
Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a?
Hypotonic solution
Water enters a cell when the solution surrounding the cell is?
Hypotonic- i think. Hypertonic is when it shrinks and Lyses is when the cell burts from swelling too much. We did it with blood cells in my Anatomy and Physiology class.
What happens to a cell when it is place in a hypotonic solution?
The cell explodes!
Why does a cell placed in hypotonic solution swell?
water flows into the cell
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution will the flow of water be in or out of the cell?
The water will flow out of the cell.
What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).
What is the solution concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the cell than in the solution in which it is placed?
Hypotonic
