What happens when to much water moves into a cell?
When too much water moves into a cell it will burst and die.
What happens if a cell is dropped into a container of pure water?
Water moves into the cell.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?
water moves out. when water diffuses out of the cell, the cell shrinks, that is Hypertonic solution.
What happens to the cells when the salt water is flushed out with distilled water?
osmosis ocurs and water moves into the cell, expanding the membrane.
What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).
What happens to the shape of a red blood cell when it is replaced in a solution with a high salt concentration?
It shrinks as water moves out of the cell.
What happens to a cells when they are put in a higher concentration of water?
When a cell is placed in higher concentration of water then endosmosis of water in the cell takes place because in the cell water concentration is low and osmotic(solute) pressure is high so water moves from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration which means it moves inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
When more water moves out of a cell than moves in the cell will?
The cell will be very turgid and stiff.
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 happens if not enough water moves into a cell?
the cells becom dehydrated and looses its turgidity.In plants,the leaves looses turgidity and wilts.in animals and humans it creates an imbalance in cell reactions causing deficiency in energy supply to the body.
