If a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, the red blood cell will swell and eventually burst. The reason for this is because a hypotonic solution has a higher osmotic pressure compared to the cytoplasm of the red blood cell. Thus, the water from the hypotonic solution moves into the red blood cell causing it to rupture.
When a red blood cell is placed in a hypo tonic solution, water from the surrounding solution rushes into the cell (osmosis) and the cell end up swelling. Some cells may even lyse (break due to expansion)
The erythrocyte will shrink!
If the root is in hypotonic solution then the root will remain turgid. If placed in a hypertonic solution then the root will become flaccid over time.
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
hypertonic
Yes
Cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to ___
"hypertonic"
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. Hypertonic or hypotonic, but I'm pretty sure hypertonic :)
hypertonic
hypertonic
hypertonic solution!
hypertonic solution
Hypertonic
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
If the root is in hypotonic solution then the root will remain turgid. If placed in a hypertonic solution then the root will become flaccid over time.
