if there was a bag of a hypotonic solution siting in a cup full of water, the water would move into the bag, with the goal of diluting the solute.

What if the solvent concentration is lower outside the cell?
hypertonic
How do water molecules move in water?
The answer is that water molecules move by a stream of moving cytoplasm, some what like how the currents move to the ocean.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
Does water move when a cell is in an isotonic environment?
In such a situation there is no net flow of water towards inside or outside of the cell.The flow of water is only possible in case of the placement of the cell in a hypotonic or hypertonic solutions.
Placing an animal cell in a hypotonic solution will cause water to?
move into the cell
What is the similarities between hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution?
The only similarities are that these deal with solutions. If the cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the amount of salt (or sugar) will be lower, and water will move into the cell, and it will swell. Water will move from a lower concentration of water to a higher to reach a balance. The opposite will be true for hypertonic solutions, the cell will lose water. They appear crenate or serrated.
Which of the 3 intravenous solutions isotonic hypotonic hypertonic has more electrolytes andor glucose content - please differentiate the three solutions based on the mentioned content?
Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.
When an egg is placed in water in which direction did the water molecules move?
the egg will sink and the water will ''float''
Does Water move into or out of a membrane bound hypotonic vesicle?
Into. Either hypotonic or hypertonic both tend to optimal tonicity. Hypotonic vesicles will welcome water while hypertonic vesicles will shed water.
What if the solvent concentration is lower outside the cell?
hypertonic
In which kind of solution would water move from the solution into the cell?
Hypotonic.
What motion do molecules move when in cold water?
does molecules move in cold water
What is statements about ice melting?
Water molecules move from their fixed positions
How do water molecules move in water?
The answer is that water molecules move by a stream of moving cytoplasm, some what like how the currents move to the ocean.
Where is the net movement of water in a hypotonic solution?
no Water will move freely between the two solutions if they are separated by a selectively permeable membrane. However, there will be no net change in the concentration of water on either side of the membrane. Differences in solute concentration will allow you to predict net changes in water movement.
When you immerse a living human cell in a hypotonic solution and water will tend to what?
water will move out of the cell
What molecules move during osmosis?
water molecules move during osmosis
