When the concentration is higher on the outside of the cell it is?
Hypertonic solution.
What happens in a cell transportation lab report?
When a cell membrane is said to be selectively permeable, it means that the cell membrane controls what substances pass in and out through the membrane. This characteristic of cell membranes plays a great role in passive transport. Passive transport is the movement of substances across the cell membrane without any input of energy by the cell. The energy for passive transport comes entirely from kinetic energy that the molecules have. The simplest type of passive transport is diffusion, which is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion moves down the concentration gradient, which is the difference in the concentration of molecules across a space. Osmosis is a type of diffusion in which water molecules move down the concentration gradient. When the concentration of solute molecules outside the cell is lower than the concentration of solute in the cytosol , the solution outside is hypotonic to the cytosol. If the concentration of solute molecules is higher outside of the cell, the solution outside is said to be hypertonic. The solution outside is isotonic if the concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane.
A solution in which the salt concentration inside the cell is higher than outside the cell is known as?
hypertonic :D
What happens to a cell in water - does it get bigger or small?
It depends on what is in the water. If the water in the cell has the same concentration of ions as there is outside the cell, nothing will happen. This solution is said to isotonic. Iso- means the same. If the concentration is lower, then water will move into the cell and can cause it to burst. This solution is hypotonic. Hypo- means lower. And if it higher, water will leave the cell and the cell will look like prune (crenated). The solution outside is hypertonic. Hyper- means above or higher. "Water always follows salt" is a good idea to remember as water always goes to where the salt concentration is higher.
When do Hemolysis occurs when a blood cell is placed into?
A hypotonic solution. The concentration of solute inside the cell is greater than that outside the cell and water enters the cell by osmosis. Water travels from an area of higher water concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower water concentration (inside the cell) and the cell swells.
What happens to a cell that is place in a hypertonic solution?
water will move from a high H2O concentration inside the cell, to a low H2O concentration outside the cell.
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in what solution?
A solution in which the salt concentration is greater outside the cell than inside the cell is known as
When the concentration is higher on the outside of the cell it is?
Hypertonic solution.
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell than inside?
Particles always move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Therefore, if the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell, they will travel into the cell until there is an equal concentration of the substance on both sides of the cell wall.
What concentration of solutes is equal the concentration of solutes inside the cell?
when a concentration of something, usually water, is the same inside and outside a cell, it is called an isotonic solution. When there is more inside the cell or membrane, but less outside, the solution is hypotonic. when there is more on the outside , it is known as hypertonic. however, it depends what you are describing
What will happen if a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic salt solution?
A hypertonic solution is a solution that has a high concentration of solute, in this case the solute being salt. When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, since the salt concentration is higher in the outside of the cell, the water concentration is lower there as well. Therefore, through the process of osmosis, the water diffuses from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell.
Concentration of solutes inside the cell equals outside the cell?
isotonic solution
What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
What happens to elodea cells mounted in salt solution?
They would wither because the salt solution is a hypotonic solution. This meaning that there is more water concentration inside the elodea leafs, and less in the solution outside the cell, so the water inside the cell rushes out. Down the concentration gradient, causing the leafs to wither.

Which way does an isotonic solution flow?
Isotonic solution doesn't flow in any direction because the concentration is even on the outside and on the inside.
