What characteristics of a water molecule causes its attraction to a cell membrane?
Water molecules are polar This causes them to be attracted to the cell surface, which is also polar in nature
What causes a hypotonic state?
The cell is holding too much water therefor the water will flow out of the cell
What happens if a cell is placed in a high salt solution?
Water will flow out of the cell, due to the concentration gradient of water being higher in the cell than in the surrounding solution, and the cell will shrink. This is called a hypertonic solution.
Which causes water to flow out of a cell causing the cell to shrivel or even die?
crenation
A solution that causes water to move out of a cell?
Hypertonic Solution
Organelles that collect excess water inside the cell and force water out are called?
The organelles that collect excess water inside the cell and force it out are called contractile vacuoles. It is primarily involved in osmoregulation and is usually found in protists and unicellular algae.
What force causes the convection cell to turn up at point A?
coolness
What kind of environments causes water to enter or leave the cell?
Water Movement across a cell membrane is called Osmosis. And it is dependent on the concentration of ions on each side of the cell membrane. If the concentration is higher on the inside of the cell water rushes in to dilute the ion concentration and get it to equal the outside concentration of ions and this is called hypotonic. If the concentration is higher outside the cell water will rush out of the cell to help dilute the concentration outside the cell and get the two concentrations to become equal and is called hypertonic. If the concentration is equal in both outside and inside the cell there will be no water movement and is called isotonic. Osmosis

An animal cell that surrounded by fresh water will burst because osmosis causes?
water to move into the cell
What causes hypertonic and hypotonic?
The concentration of water in and out of a cell.
What process causes water to or leave cell?
diffusion
What is cytolasm?
Actually called cytolysis, versus cytolsus, is also referred to as osmotic lysis. When a cell bursts, caused by an osmotic imbalance, it causes addition water to enter the cell and is called cytolysis.
