Sugar in the form of table sugar or glucose (C6H12O6) is one of the most common sources of energy. It must be broken down, but once done so by enzymes in the cell the mitochondria of human and other organism can use it to produce Adenosinetriphospahte or ATP the powerhouse behind the functions of cells.
Where sugar can "give life" to a cell salt can do almost the opposite.
We all need some salt in our tissues to maintain homeostasis but too much or even too little salt disrupt the osmotic balance that a cell must have to maintain cell shape and function normally. In humans a 0.8% solution is needed around cells (this is why IV fluid has this exact concentration) and a cell with this concentration is said to be isotonic. All of that deals with osmotic pressure, something a little more complicated.

What is the effect of sugar and salt in the evaporation of water?
the water iwll evaporate leaving the salt and sugar then seperatee this using fractional distilation
Which crisyels grow faster salt crystals or suger crystals?
salt suger = sugar salt suger = sugar salt suger = sugar salt suger = sugar
What effect does sugar and salt have on evaporation of water?
When use of 4oz - 5oz of salt, it speeds up the process of water evaporation in a glass at room temperature with sunlight.
What is more polar salt or sugar?
Salt is much more polar than sugar. Salt is in fact ionic. Sugar is organic.
What is the pronoun for salt and sugar?
Salt and sugar are things, hence, they use the pronoun it. Do you have any salt? No, we are out of it.
What is the effect of sugar and salt in the evaporation of water?
the water iwll evaporate leaving the salt and sugar then seperatee this using fractional distilation
What does not spoil even though it is exposed to bacteria?
Foods such as salted pork, strawberry preserves, and sweet pickles do not spoil when exposed to bacteria because of their cells and its sugar and salt content. When cells have enough salt or sugar, the cell membrane (which is selectively permeable) does not allow salt or sugar into the cell and therefore does not allow bacteria into the cell. Hence, the food does not spoil.
Why does salt melt ice faster than sugar or sand?
Salt. Salt dissolves in water, and causes the freezing point to fall; this causes the ice to melt. Sugar does not have this effect, and chalk doesn't dissolve in water.
What is the effect when you pour salt on a plant?
If the plant is not a salt water plant, then plasmolysis will occur when you pour salt on a plant.When you pour salt on a plant water molecules inside the cell are drawn out. When the water molecules leave the cell, the cell becomes dehydrates and shrinks. This is called plasmolysis.
How does sugar or salt effect plants growth?
Sugar will give the flower a boost but to mach will kill it so put only half a cup
What is the difference beteewn salt and sugar in evaporation?
The evaporation rate for salt and sugar, dissolved in water or otherwise, at room temperature is essentially nil.
Will 1 mol of sugar have the same effect as 1 mol of table salt in lowering the freezing point of water?
no because the mol of sugar is 34 g while salt's mol is 5.8 grams
Which crisyels grow faster salt crystals or suger crystals?
salt suger = sugar salt suger = sugar salt suger = sugar salt suger = sugar
When doing the science project lava in a cup how long with effect go on if you keep adding sugar?
it will not keep going because you have to keep adding salt instead of sugar it will go on fovever if you keep adding salt.
How do you change sugar and salt to salt?
Remove the sugar
What effect does sugar and salt have on evaporation of water?
When use of 4oz - 5oz of salt, it speeds up the process of water evaporation in a glass at room temperature with sunlight.
What effect is produced from placing a cell in a strong salt solution?
Since solutions natural move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration, the solution is hyper-tonic. The salt will move rapidly into the cell, causing the cell to expand and then explode.
