What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What happens to a cell when it is place in a hypotonic solution?
The cell explodes!
What happens to cells placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions using diagrams?
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
Why do herbaceous plants wilt when they do not have enough water and stand erect when they have water?
This relates to the type of solution the plant cells are exposed to. In general, there are 3 distinct types of solutions in nature: hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic. A hypotonic solution is one that has a low concentration of a solute relative to the solute concentration inside the cell, such as distilled water. An isotonic solution has the same solute concentration as the inside of the cell. A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute than the inside of the cell.Back to the plants...When plants wilt, that means the are exposed to an isotonic solution. When this happens, the net amount of water moving between cells and the environment is equal. As a result, the cell becomes flaccid and the plant wilts.When plants stand erect, this is a result of turgor pressure. When in a hypotonic solution, such as distilled water, the plant cells absorb the water and store it in its central vacuole. The cell cytoplasm enlarges and pushes up against the sturdy cell walls. This cell is said to be turgid, or stable.
What happens to a red blood cell when placed hypotonic solution?
In isotonic solution nothing ail happen. In hypertonic solution fluid will leave the cell to dilute the external fluid, causing the cell to crenate. In Hypotonic solution fluid will move into the cell to dilute the contents of the cell, causing it to bust or haemolyse.

What happens when cells plasmolyze?
i dont know.......maybe a hypotonic solution!
What happens in a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution is a solution that has less solute and more water than another solution. The concentration of total dissolved solutes is not equal on both sides, there will be net movement of water molecules into the cell.
What happens to an amoeba when it is placed in hypertonic solution?
amoeba when placed under hypotonic solution it will not due to the presence of contractile vacoule.
What happens to plant cells when placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.
What happens to a fresh water organism in 20 percent of saline solution?
it dies since it enters a hypotonic solution thus making it shrink
What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?
They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.
What happens to cells placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions using diagrams?
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
What happens to both plant and animal cells when they are placed into a solution that is hypotonic?
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid
What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).
