What solution that causes a cell to swell cause of osmosis?
A hypotonic solution, with a lower solute concentration compared to the inside of the cell, causes water to move into the cell via osmosis. This influx of water makes the cell swell and potentially burst if the osmotic pressure becomes too high.
Does the cell swell?
Yes, a cell can swell due to water influx, which can occur in response to changes in osmotic pressure, nutrient intake, or other cellular processes. However, excessive swelling can be harmful and lead to cell damage or lysis.
What is an example of a cell in a sugar solution?
swell
A solution that causes a cell to swell because of osmosis?
hypertonic solution
What is function of hypo tonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst. This can be harmful to cells, especially red blood cells.
Solution that causes a cell to swell?
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
Why does a cell placed in hypotonic solution swell?
A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell because the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. Water will move from the solution into the cell to equalize the concentration, causing the cell to expand and potentially burst.
What solution causes a cell to swell?
Any solution with more H2O than inside the cell will cause the cell to swell. Animal cells will burst under a lot of pressure, but plant cells will not, due to the presence of a cell well surrounding the cell. In other words, a hypotonic solution will cause a cell to swell, and a hypertonic solution will cause a cell to shrink. Hypo -> hyper
What solution would make cell swell and become bigger?
Hypotonic solution, where the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside, would cause the cell to swell and become larger as water flows into the cell to try to achieve equilibrium.
What solution would make a red blood cell swell?
A hypotonic solution would.
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
A red blood cell would swell if its surrounding solution were?
Hypotonic. If the solution had a lesser salt concentration, the cell would suck in more water to even out the salt levels inside vs outside the cell in the solution... it would suck in water, which would cause it to swell up.
