When do Hemolysis occurs when a blood cell is placed into?
A hypotonic solution. The concentration of solute inside the cell is greater than that outside the cell and water enters the cell by osmosis. Water travels from an area of higher water concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower water concentration (inside the cell) and the cell swells.
There is a greater concentration of na plus and there is a greater concentration of k plus in the cell?
There is a greater concentration of Na plus outside and there is a greater concentration of K plus inside the cell. When the stimulus is delivered, the permeability of the membrane is changed, and Na plus diffuses into the cell, initiating the depolarization of the membrane.
What would be the effect on red blood cell that 10 percent glucose solution would have?
That depends on the concentration of glucose inside of the red blood cell (RBC). If the glucose concentration inside the cells is less than the concentration outside the cell, then water will pass through the cell's membrane and into the surrounding fluid. If the concentration inside the RBC is greater than that of the outside solution, then the RBC will taken in water. Most likely, this will cause the cell to lyse open (burst) and die.
-------tonic means there is a greater concentration of solute molecules outside the cell than inside?
Hypertonic.
A solution in which the salt concentration inside the cell is higher than outside the cell is known as?
hypertonic :D
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in what solution?
A solution in which the salt concentration is greater outside the cell than inside the cell is known as
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
Why must the concentration of the fluid surrounding red blood cells be the right strength?
ISO-TONIC If a concentration of fluid is greater outside of the cell, then the cell will be in a hypotonic solution. Then it will expand and possibly explode. If a greater concentration of fluid is inside the cell, then the cell will be in a hypertonic solution. Then the fluid will diffuse out of the cell and it will become shriveled up and lose it's effectiveness. When the right concentration of fluid is the same as inside the cell as outside, then the solution is isotonic (where the cell wants to be).

There is a greater concentration of Na plus outside and there is a greater concentration of K plus inside the cell. When the stimulus is delivered, the permeability of the membrane is changed, and Na plus diffuses into the cell, initiating the depolarization of the membrane.
What concentration of solutes is equal the concentration of solutes inside the cell?
when a concentration of something, usually water, is the same inside and outside a cell, it is called an isotonic solution. When there is more inside the cell or membrane, but less outside, the solution is hypotonic. when there is more on the outside , it is known as hypertonic. however, it depends what you are describing
What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell than inside?
Particles always move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Therefore, if the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell, they will travel into the cell until there is an equal concentration of the substance on both sides of the cell wall.
Concentration of solutes inside the cell equals outside the cell?
isotonic solution

Which description represents the effect of osmosis on a plant cell when the concentration of particles is greater inside the cell than outside?
If the concentration of solute is greater inside than outside the cell then the cell then water will rush into the cell to bind to the solute and the cell will swell. A hypotonic condition.
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
Hypo-osmotic, it depends on the osmolality, if the osmolality is higher inside the cell its called hypotonic.
