When a cell is put in a hypertonic solution, it shrinks and shrivels. You alwasy have t say: This solution is hypertonic to ...A hypertonic solution means that there is more matter in the solution than in the object it is compared to. The cell will shrink and shrivel because the water will leave the cell to try to dissolve the matter outside of it.
A hypertonic solution is a solution that is more concentrated than the cytoplasm within a cell. A cell placed within a hypertonic solution will experience a concentration gradient concerning water abundance inside and outside the cell. Since external conditions have less water molecules than the internal conditions (in this case), osmosis will take place resulting to the cell losing water, and the cytoplasm becoming more concentrated, as water moves out of the cell into the hypertonic solution. This means that, theoretically, the size of the cell will decrease and will continue to do so until the concentration of the cytoplasm is equal to the concentration of the solution outside the cell.
water will move from a high H2O concentration inside the cell, to a low H2O concentration outside the cell.
The cell will shrink because it will lose water to the solution.
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water molecules would diffuse out of the cell. This will result in the cell shrinking
It loses water and shrivels up.
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).
The cell lose water in the hypertonic solution, which has higher osmotic pressure.
I think hypertonic. Water would try to leave a cell placed in a solution of such a high salt concentration to try and compensate and would then shrink the cell.
A red blood cell, when placed in 50% NaCl solution, will shrink as the water contained in it will be sucked into the surrounding solution doe to the osmotic pressure difference.
hypertonic
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
"hypertonic"
Hypertonic
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
hypertonic solution!
when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. Hypertonic or hypotonic, but I'm pretty sure hypertonic :)
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
Yes
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
