hypertonic :)
What else can I help you with?
Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
Which type of solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water leaving the cell by osmosis, causing it to shrink.
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.
What caused a cell to shrink?
hypotonic solution
What will cause the cell to shrink when placed in hypertonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution with higher solute concentration than inside the cell, water will move out of the cell via osmosis to balance the concentration. This loss of water causes the cell to shrink and may lead to cell dehydration and potential cell death.
What solution would cause a cell to shiver hypotonic or hypertonic?
A hypotonic solution would cause a cell to shiver because water will move into the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure. On the other hand, a hypertonic solution would cause the cell to shrink or shrivel because water will move out of the cell, causing it to lose water and decrease in size.
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink or swell?
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
What happen to blood cell in 10 percent NaCL?
In a 10% NaCl solution, which is a strong hypertonic solution, red blood cells would shrink and shrivel up due to the high concentration of salt outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell through osmosis, leading to cell dehydration and eventual cell death.
What kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
What will happen when you put an animal cell in a in hypertonic solution?
it will shrink
Why don't plant cells shrink up like animal cells in a salt solution?
Plant cells have rigid cell walls made of cellulose that provide structural support and prevent the cell from shrinking in a hypertonic solution (like a salt solution). The cell wall maintains the cell's shape and prevents excessive water loss by osmosis. Animal cells do not have cell walls and will shrink in a hypertonic solution due to water loss.
What would happen to your cells if the fluid outside our cells became hypertonic?
If the fluid outside the cells becomes hypertonic, water will flow out of the cells through the process of osmosis. This will cause the cells to shrink and dehydrate, potentially leading to cell damage or even cell death in severe cases.
