Want this question answered?
The water molecules are at a dynamic equilibrium, which means that equal amounts of water move into and out of the cell at the same time.
Water will flow out of the cell and the cell will shrivel in a process called crenation.
Your large intestine would take in the water and it would give you diarrhea.
No because zinc is more reactive than tin so it dilutes it
Osmosis may occur in either direction across the cell membrane.

If a red blood cell is placed in an isotonic solution then nothing should happen physically because an isotonic solution is one that has the same solute concentration as the red blood cell itself.
Isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration as present in cell. So no osmosis will occur. Hence there will be a neutral effect.
No. The solution is already at equilibrium, so there's no need for osmosis
When the water potential gradient evens out, so that the water potential on eithersides of the partially permeable membrane is equal. Also, when something is placed in an isotonic solution ( a solution with the same waterpotential as the organism contains)
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
hypotonic solution
Water will flow out of the cell and the cell will shrivel in a process called crenation.
it's already answered in yahoo answer. just type "why does hemolysis occur when red blood cells" :D not too long. i was looking for the answer too and found it:D
salt or a water solution containing alot of salt
Any reaction occur.
It would dissolve into something small and DIE a painfull deth!!
