What will happen when water moves into a animal cell?
If too much water moves into an animal cell, the cell will grow large and eventually burst. This is not life-threatening though, in fact that's the reason you sometimes have wrinkly fingers after you've taken a long shower or bath.
Does the salt move into or out of the cell?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane (see "Diffusion" above). It occurs when a solute (example: salt, sugar, protein, etc.) cannot pass through a membrane but the water can pass through. In solutions where the solute concentration is high, the concentration of water molecules is low because some of the water molecules are attached to the solute particles and thus do not contribute to diffusion. In solutions where the solute concentration is low, the concentration of unbound water molecules is high. Water moves from areas where the concentration of unbound water molecules is high (low solute concentration) to areas where the concentration of unbound water molecules is low (high solute concentration). In general, water moves toward the area with a higher solute concentration because it has a lower water concentration
Diffusion of a solute into a cell occurs when the solute is?
I believe the answer is when it is uncharged.
What part of glacier moves fastest when the glacier moves by internal plastic flow?
The central part of the glacier moves fastest than its edges as it is thickest from the center.
The process thaty causes water to flow into contractile vacuoles?
in fresh water the concentration of solute (particles and ions in water) is lower than that inside the cell. through the process of osmosis, water moves into the cell to equalize the concentration. the water must then be pumped out, so that the cell doesn't burst. in salt water there is less or no difference in solute concentrations inside and outside the cell, and no need to pump water out.
When less solute is outside the cell and water moves into the cell it's called a?
osmosis, is the term that can be used for this scientific term
When a cell membrane protein moves a solute in the opposite direction as the concentration gradient?
as the concentration gradient increases at the solute side. make the question more clear.
What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).

What best describes a cell that is isotonic for a substance?
The solute concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane
What happens to a cells when they are put in a higher concentration of water?
When a cell is placed in higher concentration of water then endosmosis of water in the cell takes place because in the cell water concentration is low and osmotic(solute) pressure is high so water moves from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration which means it moves inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid.
When a red blood cell is surrounded by a hypotonic solution what happens to the cell?
Hypertonic solution is the solution which contain more solute in it as compare to the cell internal solution now as the law of diffusion the solvent moves from low concentration of solute to high conc of solute so the solvent move out from the cell to the solution and cell ultimately will shrink
What direction would water move if a cell conatins 8 percent solute and the solution contains 20 percent solute?
Water will move out of the cell and into the solution.The explanation for this is that water generally moves from an area of higher WATER concentration (the cell) into an area of lower WATER concentration (the solution).This answer assumes that the cell in the question has a semi-permeable membrane and would allow water to pass through. Also, an effect of the water moving out of the cell is that the cell will shrink or decrease in size.
What moves the fastest?
paramecium
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to a freshwater river what takes place in the salmons cell as it moves?
The cells take in salt to balance the solute concentration-apex
What type of front moves the fastest?
A cold front moves the fastest, and a stationary front moves the slowest. A cold front moves about 20 mph, while a stationary front moves very little.
