When salt is added to onion cell, the cytoplasm shrink due to plasmolysis.

When water is added to onion cell, the cytoplasm expands back to its initial shape due to deplasmolysis.

What substance would most likely be used to return the red onion cell to original condition?

A hypotonic solution, such as distilled water, would most likely be used to return the red onion cell to its original condition. This solution would cause the cell to take in water and swell up, potentially reversing any plasmolysis that occurred.


What happens if instead of salt water you use distilled water in the red onion experiment?

If distilled water is used instead of salt water in the red onion experiment to observe osmosis, there would be no osmotic movement because distilled water does not contain any dissolved solutes. In contrast to salt water, where water moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, in distilled water there are no solutes to create a concentration gradient for water to move across the membrane.


What would happen if distilled water were substituted for buffer in either the chamber solution?

Does distilled water contain glucose?

Distilled water is close to pure water, and if it was distilled in a clean environment it would be pure water. Thus no, it would not have maltose ( a sugar) in it.


What would happen if a leaf was placed in distilled water?

Placing a leaf in distilled water would allow water to enter the leaf through osmosis, leading to an increase in turgor pressure within the cells. This influx of water could cause the leaf to become turgid and firm.


What would happen if you placed a slice of cucumber in distilled water?

If a cucumber is placed in distilled water, the water molecules will flow into the cell by osmosis. This happens because the distilled water solution has a lower osmotic pressure than the cucumber cell.
