Water in a hypotonic solution will make a red blood cell expand. The water will move into the lower water concentration of the cell and the cell volume will grow.

What type of solute makes cell shrinks?

Hypertonic solution.


When a solution is hypertonic?

Let us put hypotonic into the mix. Hyper is more, hypo is less so that puts -tonic right in the middle, as a reference point. That reference point is also called equilibrium. When a solution contains more solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypertonic, and when a solution has dissolved in it less than the amount of solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypotonic.


What makes cytoplasm in a plant cell shrink?

If you place the cell in a hypertonic solution (a solution with a higher concentration of salt than the cell) the cell membrane would shrink.


Ocean water is hypertonic to the internal environment of the body predict what would happen to an individual who consumes large quantities of ocean water?

If you drink ocean water when your dehydrated it makes you even more so. In a hypertonic solution water moves out of the cells because the the particles want to have equal concentration gradients. Since a hypertonic solution has a high concentration of solutes in it it makes sense for the water from a cell to move out so that the environment in the cell and environment outside both have the same concentration of solutes. Human cells shrivel in a hypertonic solution, this kills the cells and can therefore kills you if enough cells can't function. answer: the indivdual dies

Why could salt solution be used as an antiseptic for a cut?

A salt solution can be used as an atiseptic for a cut as first , salt solution is a preservative, (salt is used to preserve many foods ex pickles your grandma makes and secondly , it would create a hypertonic solution and literally exhaust all the microbes that would happen to be in the cut.

Why a person could die of dehydration by drinking enough 10 percent salt solution?

The cells in the persons body would try to equalize the concentration on the outside and inside of the cell. This would lead to the cells exposed to the hypotonic solution dehydrating themselves.
