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 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


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.


What is the scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells placed in a hypotonic solution?

The scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells when placed in a hypotonic solution is turgid. This occurs when water moves into the cell causing it to swell and become firm.

What is a hypotonic solution?

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the solution it is being compared to. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure.

What is hypotonic solution?

A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.


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 we place RBC in hypo-tonic solution?

When red blood cells (RBCs) are placed in a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cells due to a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell. This causes the cells to swell and potentially burst, a process known as hemolysis.


What is a sentence for hypotonic?

Hypotonic means having reduced pressure or tone. That solution is hypotonic compared to this one.


Do cells reccover from the state of plasmolysis?

Yes, if a plasmolysed cell is placed in a hypotonic solution it can recover as a turgid cell.
