What are the results if you put a plant cell and an animal cell in a hyper tonic solution?
they die
WHAT happen if plant cell is placed n hyper tonic solution?
cell walls rupture
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink or swell?
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
simple diffusion. When you surround a cell with water the water diffuses through the cell membrane causing it to swell and burst. The opposite is hyper tonic.
Why does a plant cell shrink when put in hyper tonic solution?
they don't because they have a cell wall. they have what we call plasmolisis. which is when the it looses water (because of the concentration gradient)
What is the effect of the salt solution on the red blood cells in hyper tonic?
Red blood cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. This occurs as water moves out of the red blood cell.
What effect is produced from placing a cell in a strong salt solution?
Since solutions natural move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration, the solution is hyper-tonic. The salt will move rapidly into the cell, causing the cell to expand and then explode.
Is it a hyper tonic cells if water will enter the cell by osmosis?
Yes .
What kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
What would happen to a blood cell placed in a hyper tonic salt solution?
It would crenate (shrivel up). The water within would exit the cell to attempt to balance the excess salt concentration in the solution.
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 does an onion cell look like after adding a salt solution NaCl?
This depends on the nature of the NaCl solution...If it is a Hyper-tonic solution (More concentrated solution than onion cells), water will move by osmosis down it's concentration gradient, from a region of less negative water potential (high Ψ) in the onion cell, to a region of more negative water potential (low Ψ) in the solution through a selectively/partially permeable membrane;so the onion cell will be plasmolysed and will look "flaccid" (vacuole gets smaller and shrinks).The vice versa happens with a Hypo-tonic (less concentrated solution than onion cell) NaCl solution;The onion cell will then look "turgid" (has a large vacuole exerting a pressure on the cytoplasm and pushing it towards the cell's cellwall to make it "tensed".
