What is the ultimate hypotonic solution?
Solution that has lower osmolarity than blood when administering to patient *water leaves the blood and other ecf areas *and enters the cell
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.
in osmosis What happen in potato A and in potato B?
In osmosis, water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In potato A, if placed in a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration), water will move out of the potato causing it to shrink (plasmolysis). In potato B, if placed in a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration), water will move into the potato causing it to swell (turgor pressure).
How do 0.5M and 2.0M aqueous solutions of NaCl differ?
The 0.5M solution has a lower concentration of NaCl compared to the 2.0M solution. This means the 2.0M solution has more NaCl dissolved in the same volume of water. Consequently, the 2.0M solution will be more concentrated and have a higher osmolarity compared to the 0.5M solution.
What will happen to a carrot in a concentrated salt solution?
When placed in a concentrated salt solution, the carrot will lose water through the process of osmosis. This will cause the carrot to shrink and become limp as the water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the carrot) to an area of lower concentration (the solution).
What is a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the solution it is being compared to. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure.
How can one determine if a solution is hypotonic?
A solution is hypotonic if it has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution. This can be determined by observing whether a cell placed in the solution gains water and swells up, indicating that water is moving into the cell due to the lower concentration of solutes outside the cell.
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.
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 is the medical term meaning solution placed into the rectum and colon to empty the lower intestine prior to an endoscopic examination?
Enema
What happens when blood cells are placed in a physiological saline solution?
Due to the procdess of osmosis, ion concentrations of higher salinity (NaCl) will tend to flow through permeable membranes (the blood cell wall) to areas of lower salinity. The blood cells salinity concentration will increase until relative equilibrium is reached with the surrounding solution.
Why does a cell placed in hypotonic solution swell?
A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell because the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. Water will move from the solution into the cell to equalize the concentration, causing the cell to expand and potentially burst.
