A leaf cell has a very low concentration of salt. What would happen to the leaf cell if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?

Answer this question…
The cell would lose water, and the membrane would collapse

What would happen if you inject a highly concentrated sugar solution in a growing pumpkin?
if you inject a highly concentrated sugar solution to a pumpkin, the increase in size can be dramatic!
What contains the highest concentration of thiamin in muscle tissue?
Thiamine is found in a wide variety of foods at low concentrations. Yeast, yeast extract, and pork are the most highly concentrated sources of thiamine.
Does water tend to diffuse from a region where it is less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
Maybe you mean osmosis?However, osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeable membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.answ2. However, in the oceans, the turbulence is very much less than that of the air. Thus whilst C14 for example diffuses reasonably rapidly in the air, and may be assumed to homogenize after a few years; in the oceans the rate of diffusion is very much slower.And the oceans are known to stratify. For example in the Fiords in New Zealand, there forms a fresh water layer on top of the sea water, and this is known to freeze in winter. The ocean water itself in the same locale never gets cold enough to freeze.
The central essential or highly concentrated part around which other parts are grouped?
core
How are diffusion and active transport different?
There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient. That is, when an area has more concentration than the other area. Diffusion is used to transfer particles from one place to another. Active transport is used to transfer particles, usually occurring against a concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy to occur however, diffusion does not. There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient.

What will happen if a highly concentrated substance is added to a solution?
It will gradually diffuse until it reaches equilibrium.
Does water diffuse from a region where its less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
No, it goes from HIGH concentration, to LOW concentration
Is it true that water tends diffuse from a region where it is lees concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
It is not true. All substances tend to diffuse from an area of higher concentration to that of lower concentration. This is called passive transport(no energy required), or in the case of water, Osmosis. However, if given energy, they can also move from an area of lower concentration to that of higher concentration. This process is called active transport.
What part of an experiment is food?
The highly concentrated sulfuric acid solution
What is as stock solution?
A stock solution is a highly concentrated solution that is usually diluted in labs to get more precise moralities in experiments.
Is muriatic acid is a suspension?
No Muriatic acid comes in a solution that is highly concentrated,
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.
If solution A has more solute and less water than solution B then solution A is what to solution B?
Solution A is highly concentrated than solution B.
Does water tend to diffuse from a region where it less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
No. Water tends to diffuse from a region where it (water) is more concentrated to a region where it (water) is less concentrated. The other way of thinking about this is that water diffuses from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration.
If a cell is placed inside a solution that has a higher concentration of solute than on the inside of the cell what can be said about the movement of water?
If you are asking if the cell is highly concentrated with water, will the water move OUT of the cell, the answer is yes. Through a process called diffusion, molecules will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to reach equilibrium, a word that means that the concentration or particles and molecules is equal throughout the system.
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.
