Why does a plant cell lose water by osmosis when put in a concentrated solution?
Not just plant cells, all cells with semi-permeable membranes loose water when placed in a more highly concentrated solution.
What will happen if an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm?
I believe the solution would be considered hypotonic. in which case the amoeba would let water (H2O) out of its body to regulate the solute concentration (to make it equal)
What happens when carrot is boiled and then placed in concentrated salt solution?
the cells are dead so the potato whould not perform any movement
If a plant cell is put into a concentrated sugar solution what will happen?
Those animal cells placed in pure water will swell but plant cells are restricted by their cells walls. If place in a solution high in sugar (or even salt), both cells will shrink in a process called crenation (shriveling).
What will happen to human red blood cells if they are placed in the ringer solution?
_crenate
What will happen when raisins are placed in concentrated solution of sugar?
when raisins are placed in concentrated solution of sugarthen they will swell up

What happens to a leaf cell if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?
The cell would lose water and the membrane would collapse.
What will happen to a red blood cell if placed in a bowl of concentrated salt solution?
Water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink and shrivel.
What will happen if a raisin is placed in a low concentrated sugar solution?
The raisin will become filled with more water as there is more sugar and less water inside.
What would happen if fluid outside the cells became hypertonic?
Acell placed in a highly concentrated solution will result in the water molecules diffusing out of the cell. Eventually, the cell will shrink. It should be noted, however, that not all cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. The cells have ways to circumvent hypertonicity (see osmoregulation).
What can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain?

What would happen to a grape placed in a bowl with a highly concentrated sugar water?
the grape would shrivel up. This is because the water in the grape would leave it to try to balance out the sugar concentration.
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
A red blood cell will shrink in size when placed in a more concentrated salt solution because of the passive process called?
Osmosis
