Hypotonic Solution


What happens when to much water moves into a cell?

When too much water moves into a cell, it can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst. This process is known as lysis and can be harmful to the cell's structure and function. Cells regulate their water content through osmosis to maintain a balance and prevent lysis.


What happens if a cell is dropped into a container of pure water?

If a cell is dropped into pure water, water will enter the cell by osmosis. This can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst due to the increased pressure within the cell.


What happens to the shape of a red blood cell when it is replaced in a solution with a high salt concentration?

It shrinks as water moves out of the cell.


What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?

Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.

What happens if not enough water moves into a cell?

the cells becom dehydrated and looses its turgidity.In plants,the leaves looses turgidity and wilts.in animals and humans it creates an imbalance in cell reactions causing deficiency in energy supply to the body.


What happens to the cell wall in a hypertonic isotonic and hyotonic solution?

In a hypertonic solution, the cell wall will shrink away from the cell membrane due to water leaving the cell. In an isotonic solution, the cell wall maintains its shape as water moves in and out of the cell in equilibrium. In a hypotonic solution, the cell wall will swell as water moves into the cell, increasing the pressure inside the cell.


What happens to a cells when they are put in a higher concentration of water?

When cells are placed in a higher concentration of water (a hypotonic solution), water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst (lyse). This can disrupt the cell's internal environment and lead to cell damage or death.


What moves into and out of a cell by process of osmosis?
