What happens when there is a low water concentration outside of a cell?
The water inside the cell goes with the low concentration to reach equilibrium.
Why would you expect a freshwater amoeba to be more likely to have contractile vacuoles than a marine amoeba?
Because the surrounding freshwater concentration is higher than the salt concentration inside and so all the water from the vacuoles has left because of osomosis. while the marine amoeba has the surrounding salt concentration equal to the concentration inside the vacuole.
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.
What is the difference between an isotonic solution and equilibrium?
equilibrium is reaching that state of equal concentration. isotonic is how you describe the cell that has equal concentration.
When the concentration of solutes outside the cell and inside the cell are in equilibrium the solution is said to be?
When a cell is in a solution that has the same concentration of water and solutes, it is considered isotonic. Water still moves through the plasma membrane, but water enters and leaves the cell at an equal rate-it has reached an equilibrium, and there is no net movement of water.
When materials pass into and out of a cell at equal rates and there is no net change in concentration inside the cell?
Dynamic Equilibrium
When materials pass into and out of cell at equal rates there is no net change in concentration inside the cell. The cell is in a state of?
Dynamic equilibrium
When materials pass into and out of the cell at equal rates there is no net change in concentration inside the cell. The cell is in a state of?
Dynamic equilibrium
When materials pass into and out of a cell at equal rates there is no net change in concentration inside the cell. the cell is in a state of?
The cell is in a state of equilibrium. Meaning it is in an isotonic solution and there is no net osmotic pressure on the membrane.
What is isotonic concentration?
Isotonic concentration is when the concentration of soletutes inside and outside of the cell are equal in concentration
When materials pass into and out a cell at equal rates there is no net change in concentration inside the cell the cell is in a state of?
The cell is in a state of equilibrium. Meaning it is in an isotonic solution and there is no net osmotic pressure on the membrane.
A cell is in what when solute concentration inside and outside the cell are equal?
Isotonic.
A cell is in when solute concentration inside and outside the cell are equal?
Isotonic.
Why do diffusion and osmosis happen?
they make the concentration of the solute equal inside and outside of the molecule.
Do molecules must always diffuse into a cell?
not if the concentration is equal inside and outside of the cell
What happens when there is a low water concentration outside of a cell?
The water inside the cell goes with the low concentration to reach equilibrium.
What kind of environments causes water to enter or leave the cell?
Water Movement across a cell membrane is called Osmosis. And it is dependent on the concentration of ions on each side of the cell membrane. If the concentration is higher on the inside of the cell water rushes in to dilute the ion concentration and get it to equal the outside concentration of ions and this is called hypotonic. If the concentration is higher outside the cell water will rush out of the cell to help dilute the concentration outside the cell and get the two concentrations to become equal and is called hypertonic. If the concentration is equal in both outside and inside the cell there will be no water movement and is called isotonic. Osmosis
