What method of molecular transport says water concentration inside a cell is higher than the water concentration outside the cell water flows out of the cell?
Osmosis.
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 the concentration of free water molecules is higher outside a cell than inside the cell water will diffuse?
into the cell to create equilibrium. This process is known as osmosis. The direction of water movement is determined by the concentration gradient of water molecules between the inside and outside of the cell.
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being 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.
What kind of environments causes water to enter or leave the cell?
Water Movement across a cell membrane is called Osmosis. And it is dependent on the concentration of ions on each side of the cell membrane. If the concentration is higher on the inside of the cell water rushes in to dilute the ion concentration and get it to equal the outside concentration of ions and this is called hypotonic. If the concentration is higher outside the cell water will rush out of the cell to help dilute the concentration outside the cell and get the two concentrations to become equal and is called hypertonic. If the concentration is equal in both outside and inside the cell there will be no water movement and is called isotonic. Osmosis
Will osmosis cause thisIf the concentration of glucose in the water outside of a cell is higher than the concentration inside?
When the concentration of the glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside, the water will then have a tendency to leave the cell. The process of the water leaving the cell will be by osmosis.
What happens when the concentration of water molecules is greater outside a cell than inside?
There will be a net movement of water out of the cell, the cell will become shrunken. Water will move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
What happens when there is a higher concentration of water outside the cell than inside the cell?
Water moves into the cell by osmosis along the concentration gradient until the two gradients are equal. The result is that the volume inside the cell increases, causing the cell to swell.
What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell than inside?
Water will move out of the cell in an attempt to equalize the concentration of dissolved substances, causing the cell to shrink or shrivel up. This process is known as crenation, and can have negative effects on the cell's functioning.
What method of molecular transport says water concentration inside a cell is higher than the water concentration outside the cell water flows out of the cell?
Osmosis.
How does solute concentration affect diffusion osmosis?
Solute concentration affects diffusion and osmosis by creating a concentration gradient. Higher solute concentration outside the cell will cause water to move out of the cell, leading to a decrease in cell volume. Lower solute concentration outside the cell will cause water to move into the cell, increasing its volume.
What substance enters and leaves a plant cell through the process of osmosis?
Water enters and leaves a plant cell through the process of osmosis. When the concentration of water inside the cell is higher than outside, water will move into the cell, and when the concentration is higher outside, water will leave the cell.
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in what solution?
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in a hypertonic solution. In this solution, there is a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.
If you have a cell with water concentration of 90 percent and solute concentration of 10 percent and you place it into a solution that is 80 percent water concentration and 20 percent solute concentra?
The cell will lose water by osmosis because water will move from an area of higher concentration (inside the cell, 90% water) to an area of lower concentration (outside the cell, 80% water). This movement of water will continue until the concentrations of water inside and outside the cell reach equilibrium.
What if the solvent concentration is lower outside the cell?
hypertonic
