What else can I help you with?
Plasmolysis of a human red blood cell would occur if the cell were?
Placed in a hypertonic solution with a higher solute concentration than inside the cell, causing water to leave the cell and the cell to shrink and shrivel.
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.
What happens to a red blood cell when exposed to isotonic solutions?
When a red blood cell is exposed to an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell. This means that the cell maintains its normal shape and volume, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is balanced.
What would occur if a plant cell were placed into a strong hypertonic solution?
Your large intestine would take in the water and it would give you diarrhea.
What happens to a salt solution placed in the sun for 1 week what would happen at the end of the week?
Evaporation would occur and salt crystals would form.
What would happen to a blood cell placed in a hyper tonic salt solution?
A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic salt solution will lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This process is known as crenation, and it can ultimately lead to the cell's death if the condition is not corrected.
What is haemolysing?
An example would be when red blood cells burst because they have been placed in a solution that has a lower concentration of salts than blood plasma.
How do you determine the concentration of solution?
To determine the concentration of a solution, you would need to separate the solution. You then determine how much of the solution is diluted, and how much is whole.
Would a reaction occur if a piece of Zn metal were placed in a SnSo4 solution?
No because zinc is more reactive than tin so it dilutes it
Which solution contains a higher concentration of solvent that the solution it is being compared with?
The solution with the higher concentration of solvent compared to another solution would be the one with a lower concentration of solute. The solvent concentration is higher in the solution where the solute concentration is lower.
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.
