What percentage of your cells are water?
The human body is about 60-70% water, but individual cells have different concentrations of water depending on the function of the cell, the nutrients present and the "need" for water in that particluar cell.
Approximately 60 percent to 80 percent of a cell is what?
water
About 70 percent of a cell is?
water
If you have a cell with water concentration of 90 percent and solute concentration of 10 percent and you place it into a solution that is 80 percent water concentration and 20 percent solute concentra?
The cell will lose water by osmosis because water will move from an area of higher concentration (inside the cell, 90% water) to an area of lower concentration (outside the cell, 80% water). This movement of water will continue until the concentrations of water inside and outside the cell reach equilibrium.
What percent of water is in an ant's cell?
70%
When you immerse a living human cell in a hypotonic solution and water will tend to what?
When you immerse a living human cell in a hypotonic solution, water will tend to move into the cell through osmosis. This influx of water can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst if the cell cannot regulate the influx by expelling excess water.
What percent of living things is made of water?
75%
How much water have a regular cell?
it depends what type of cell, but usually about 70 percent
A cell containing 98 percent water in its cytoplasm is placed in a 2 percent salt solution It should?
The cell will undergo osmosis, with water moving out of the cell to dilute the higher concentration of salt outside. This will cause the cell to shrink as water leaves the cytoplasm to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
Cell that contains 50 percent water is placed in a solution that is 30 percent water The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they both contain how much water?
The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they both contain 40% water. At equilibrium, the water will flow from the region of higher concentration (50% in the cell) to the region of lower concentration (30% in the solution) until the concentrations are equal.
A cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is 35 percent water Which way will the net movement of water go?
If the cell and the solution contain the same percentage of water, the solution is isotonic. This means that the net movement of water will not be in either direction, there will be no net movement.
A cell contains 3 percent salt and 97 percent water How would this cell respond if placed in a distilled water solution?
The cell would undergo the process of osmosis, where water molecules move from the area of higher concentration (the distilled water solution) to the area of lower concentration (inside the cell). This would cause the cell to expand and potentially burst due to the influx of water.
