A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
Cell is placed in a solution If the cell is observed to shrink the solution must be relative to the interior of the cell?
hypertonic
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
If a cell is dropped in any solution and the cell does not change size by either shrinking or swelling what is the solution?
isotonic
What does a hypertonic solution have?
A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell the solution is in. (So the cell will shrink when it is in a hypertonic solution, because water will leave the cell in an attempt to balance the ratios of solute to water both inside and outside of the cell.)
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What will happen to a cell dropped into a solution of hypertonic salt water?
A cell immersed is a hypertonic solution will tend to lose water to the solution and shrink.
What will happen to a cell in a hypertonic solution?
I will take the cell to be animal cell. The hypertonic solution is taken as hypertonic saline solution. The cell will shrink in that case. There will be loss of water to the exterior of the cell. The biochemical cellular functions will be adversely affected. The cell may die if the solution is sufficiently hypertonic.
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 is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
What are the results when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
