What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
Water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a solution?
Hypertonic solution. To further elaborate my point, hypertonic solution is a solution which has less water potential and more solutes as compared to inside the cell. Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high water potential to low water potential through a partially permeable membrane. Therefore, water leaves the cell into the solution. Hope this helps!!:)
Under what conditions will an animal cell burst?
When surrounded by a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution that has a water potential higher than that of the cell itself, such as pure water). Water moves into the cell by osmosis. The cell cannot withstand this pressure and will burst, a process known as haemolysis.
If the water concentration on the inside of the cell is lower than the concentration on the outside where will water move?
Osmotic pressure causes substances to flow from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated, but also note that in the case of cells, some substances are pumped through cell membranes in an opposite direction than osmotic pressure would cause.
What is happening when the cell start to swell up with water?
Osmosis is taking place
What would happen to the cells of a freshwater organism if it was placed in saltwater?
The concentration of water molecules outside the cell is lower than the concentration of the water molecules inside the cell. As a result, water moves out of the cell by osmosis. When water moves out, cells shrink. Put another way, the concentration of solute (salt) is higher outside the cell than inside. More water will flow out of the cell than into the cell through the cell membrane.

What examples of hypertonic solution?
if a cell is paced in a hypertonic solution means that water concentration in the cell is higher than the outside the cell so water moves out of the cell cell shrivels process called crentation

Why is water hypotonic to a cell?
this is because the cell has more solute than the water causeing the water from the outside flow into the cell.
Define osmosis in simple anatomy and physiology?
In simple terms: Osmosis is when water moves from a place with lots of water through a tissue wall to an area where there is less water. For example, if a cell is placed in water, because there is more water outside the cell than inside, the water molecules will start to move from outside the cell, through the cell wall and into the cell, causing it to swell, until the amount of water inside the cell is the same as outside.
What happens to animal cells in salt water?
Salt water is hypertonic (has more solute) to the cell. So when an animal cell is put in salt solution water will rush out and the cell will shrivel up because there is too much salt and too little water inside. the salt solution is said to be hypertonic to the cytoplasm of the cells.
Water will diffuse out of a cell when the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
You are correct. A hypertonic solution is a solution outside the cell that has more solute in it that water. This means that there is more water inside the cell than solute. Because there is more water in the cell, it will diffuse out of it and the cell will shrivel up.
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).
What is the difference between symplast and apoplast?
The apoplast and symplast pathways are two different pathways by which water can move through the root of a plant. Water in the apoplast pathway moves from cell to cell via spaces in the cellulose cell walls until it reaches the endodermis. At the endodermis, there is the 'apoplast block' - the cellulose cell walls of the cells of the endodermis have a substance called suberin which is impermeable and prevents the movement of water. The suberin makes up what is called the Casparian strip. At this point, all the water has to move into the vacuolar and symplast pathways. The function of the apoplast block is to prevent harmful substances from entering the xylem. The symplast pathway is where water moves from cell to cell in the cytoplasm via the plasma membranes and plasmodesmata. Water moves along the root by osmosis down a water potential gradient (as water moves into one cell, this cell then has a higher water potential than the adjacent cell, so water moves from cell to cell by osmosis). Water moves in this way along in the cytoplasm from the root hair cell to the endodermis.
Under what conditions will an animal cell burst?
When surrounded by a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution that has a water potential higher than that of the cell itself, such as pure water). Water moves into the cell by osmosis. The cell cannot withstand this pressure and will burst, a process known as haemolysis.
If the water concentration on the inside of the cell is lower than the concentration on the outside where will water move?
Osmotic pressure causes substances to flow from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated, but also note that in the case of cells, some substances are pumped through cell membranes in an opposite direction than osmotic pressure would cause.
