What solution causes a cell to swell?
Any solution with more H2O than inside the cell will cause the cell to swell. Animal cells will burst under a lot of pressure, but plant cells will not, due to the presence of a cell well surrounding the cell. In other words, a hypotonic solution will cause a cell to swell, and a hypertonic solution will cause a cell to shrink. Hypo -> hyper
OBSERVING OSMOSIS IN PLANT CELLS?
You can observe osmosis in plant cells by placing a plant cell in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution and observing any changes in cell size and shape due to the movement of water. Hypertonic solution will cause cell to shrink (plasmolysis) and hypotonic solution will cause cell to swell. You can use a microscope to observe these changes in plant cells during osmosis.
A solution outside the cell that is hypotonic to the cell contents will cause?
When the solution outside the cell is hypotonic to the cell contents, then by osmosis the water from outside the cell enters in , due to which the cell swell's up. This principle is used in Karyotyping, where hypo.KCl is added to increase the cell size for better visualization of chromosomes.
Solution that causes a cell to swell?
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
A red blood cell would swell if its surrounding solution were?
Hypotonic. If the solution had a lesser salt concentration, the cell would suck in more water to even out the salt levels inside vs outside the cell in the solution... it would suck in water, which would cause it to swell up.
A solution that causes a cell to swell because of osmosis?
hypertonic solution

What cause a rasin to be turgid?
A raisin becomes turgid when placed in a hypotonic solution, causing water to enter the raisin through osmosis. This influx of water causes the raisin to swell and become firm or turgid.

What is happening when the cell start to swell up with water?
Osmosis is taking place
What is cause a cell to swell and possibly brust as water enters the cell?
osmosis
What can cause blood passages to swell?
Infections causes it to swell

When can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis without using a scale?
You can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis if they swell or shrink. When plant cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and shrink. Conversely, when they are placed in a hypotonic solution, they gain water and swell. These changes in cell size indicate that osmosis is occurring.
What does an alkaline solution do to the hair?
It softens and causes the hair to swell

Why does water enter a cell that is placed in a hypotonic solution?
water enters a cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell.
