When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
What else can I help you with?
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
What would happen if a plant was placed in hypotonic solution?
Nothing would happen to the plant. It will have a normal growth provided other parameters are normal.
What would most likely happen to a onion cell of it were placed in a liquid with a concentration of solutes?
In a hypotonic environment, an onion cell will fill up with water. Hypotonic refers to a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than the solution you're comparing it to.
What happens to cells placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions using diagrams?
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
What would happen if an cell was placed in a hypertonic solution?
It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.
What would happen if you put liver cell in a hyptonic solution?
If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net movement of water into the cell and it will eventually burst. If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there will be a net movement of water out of the cell and it will shrink.
What will happen if an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm?
If an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm (hypotonic solution), water will move into the amoeba through osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. This is because the higher concentration of solutes inside the amoeba creates a gradient for water to move into the cell.
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time?
The organism would swell and then burst.
What would happen to a cell if it were placed into a solution of lower osmolarity?
it would burst
In which kind of solution would water move from the solution into the cell?
Hypotonic.
What is a hypotonic solution of NaCl?
A hypotonic solution of NaCl has a lower concentration of salt (NaCl) compared to the concentration of salt inside a cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic NaCl solution, water will move into the cell, causing it to swell, potentially leading to cell lysis if the cell cannot regulate its volume adequately.
