What is water inside tank?
What will happen if water gets inside gas tank
What do cells contain so that they dont become waterlogged?
In plants, large spaces inside cells called vacuoles can hold water. In animal cells, the cell membrane contains water transporters or water channels that help in removind water if there is too much water inside cells
Is water made of cells?
Water is in fact not made of cells. Water however is a major compound found inside of nearly all cells.
What main solvent is inside all cells?
water, water everywhere
What happen to the cells in hypotonic solution?
Gains water
Why are most cells 70 percent water?
because most of the chemical reactions that happen in your metabolism happen in water.
What will happen when you put water inside the balloon?
you have made a water balloon!
What would you expect would happen to a plant if you watered it with very salty water?
Water potential of the water inside the cells is higher that the water potential of the water outside the cells. (That would means the concentration of "pure" water inside the cells are higher than that outside the cells) Water moves from an higher water potential to an lower water potential. Thus Plasmolysis of the cells will take place. Which means the Nucleus,Vacuole and all the other cellular material will move from the inside of the cell to the outside.
What will happen to an egg in hypo tonic water?
In a hyptonic solution, water will move into the cells of the egg, and it will swell, and the cells will burst.
Where does a cactus store its water?
inside the chloroplast in the plants cells.
What does soda do to your cells?
It depends of your conditions and the quantity you drink. If you feel a little thirsty it means the water contents in your cells is a little low so when you drink water enter into the cells, the salile concentration reaches the required level and thirst banishes. On the other side if you are extremely dehydrated as could happen very fast if you get lost in a very hot and dry place, the water content inside your cells becomes very low and drinking will just save your life. On the other, rather theoretical extreme, drinking lots of water (around 20 liter, if memory serves me well) would kill you by depleting the potassium content inside your cells. As you can see all effects depend on water which is the main component of most beverages. You would get the same effects using pure water instead of soda.
What will happen to a potato put in salt water?
In the salt solution the concentration of water inside the cells of the potato is higher than that outside. Therefore water molecules move from inside the potato where there is higher concentration of water molecules to outside the potato where there is a lower concentration of water molecules through semipermeable membrane of the potato cells. This process is called osmosis.
