Plant cells plasmolyze when immersed in a hypertonic solution when the cell wall detaches under high pressure causing water to be lost. The more solutes a cell has, the less water becomes available.

Why do onion cell plasmolyze?

Onion cells plasmolyze when placed in a hypertonic solution because water moves out of the cell, causing the central vacuole to shrink and the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall. This occurs to balance the water concentration inside and outside the cell.

What type of solution is hypertonic?

Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.


Which solution has more solute-hypo or hypertonic?

A hypertonic solution has more solute compared to a hypotonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher, causing water to move out of the cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower, which leads to water moving into the cells.

hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution


Two cells were placed in a container containing liquid X they both shrunk what is liquid X?

Liquid X is likely a hypertonic solution, meaning it has a higher solute concentration than the cells. When cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, water leaves the cells to try to equalize the concentration, causing them to shrink in a process called plasmolysis.


Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard If left in a salt solution they become limp and soft From thsi you can deduce that thecells of the celery stalk?

The cells of the celery stalk are hypertonic to fresh water, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, making them stiff. When placed in a salt solution, the cells become hypotonic, causing water to move out of the cells, resulting in a limp texture.


What happens to cells in saltwater?

cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
