If place in a hypertonic solution it would swell and/or burst because to much water is getting in the cell from the hypertonic solution ( osmosis ). If placed in a hypotonic solution it will end up shrinking from the water leaving the cell to the hypotonic solution ( again osmosis ). Osmosis is when water moves to a lower pressure of water so if there's more water pressure in the cell it will move out into the less dense solution. :)

How to dilute primers for PCR effectively?

To dilute primers for PCR effectively, mix the primer solution with a buffer solution in the appropriate ratio. Typically, a 10x dilution is used, meaning 1 part primer solution is mixed with 9 parts buffer solution. This helps ensure that the primers are at the optimal concentration for PCR amplification.

What is the difference between fehling and Benedict test?

Both Fehling's and Benedict's tests are used to detect the presence of reducing sugars in a solution, such as glucose. The key difference lies in the composition of the reagents: Fehling's solution is made up of separate A and B components that need to be mixed before testing, while Benedict's solution is a single solution containing the necessary components. Additionally, Fehling's solution is more sensitive than Benedict's solution.


Define a solution?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances where one substance is dissolved in another. The dissolved substance is called the solute, while the substance in which it is dissolved is called the solvent. Solutions can be in liquid, solid, or gaseous form.


What is a soultion?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solute (substance being dissolved) in a solvent (substance doing the dissolving). In a solution, the solute is evenly distributed at a molecular level within the solvent, resulting in a clear, well-mixed liquid or solid. Solutions can vary in concentration, with factors like temperature and pressure affecting solubility.

Sugar dissolves in water to form a homogeneous solution.


What happen when liquid mixed with solid?

If the solid is soluble (can dissolve) then it will dissolve in the liquid and give you a solution.


What happen when solutes and solvent are mixed?

When solutes (substances dissolved in a solution) are mixed with a solvent (the substance in which the solutes dissolve), the solutes disperse evenly throughout the solvent due to Brownian motion and intermolecular interactions. This results in the formation of a homogenous mixture called a solution. The solutes remain dispersed in the solvent unless a physical or chemical change occurs.


What happens to the red blood cells when mix with salt solution?

Red blood cells that are put in a dilute salt solution swell because of osmosis. This process causes red blood cells to swell in hypotonic solutions because the liquid tries to dilute the cells' solution since it tries to equalize the solution's tonicities.


When salt and water are mixed is it a mixture or a solution?

It's a solution


What the different between a solute and a solution?

the difference between a solution and a non solution is that a solution is a substance in which all the particals in it have dissolved and mixed completely. a non solution is a substance that still has particals that have not been mixed completely.
