Does the cell swell?
Putting the cell in a hypotonic solution makes it swell up.
Solution that causes a cell to swell?
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell causing the cell to swell and possibly burst?
Which is called Plasmoptysis.
Why does a cell swell in a hypotonic a solution?
It swells because of the amount of water it has inside
What solution causes a cell to swell?
Any solution with more H2O than inside the cell will cause the cell to swell. Animal cells will burst under a lot of pressure, but plant cells will not, due to the presence of a cell well surrounding the cell. In other words, a hypotonic solution will cause a cell to swell, and a hypertonic solution will cause a cell to shrink. Hypo -> hyper
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
Does the cell swell?
Putting the cell in a hypotonic solution makes it swell up.
Why does water enter a cell that is placed in a hypotonic solution?
water enters a cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell.
What happens to plant cells when placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.

What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
Why do human cells die in freshwater?
As, human cell is an animal cell. When it is placed in an hypotonic solution like freshwater,it will finally swell and burst
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
