What impact does osmosis and diffusion have on life?
If osmosis and diffusion didn't exist then cells In things would be dry and shrink
Which are smaller onion cells or elodea?
Elodea cells are smaller
Why do potato's shrink when you put them in water mixed with sugar?
The water in the cells diffuse out into solution via simple osmosis
Why the skin of your fingers shrink when you wash clothes for a long time?
when we wash cloths our finger cells are dipped in hyper tonic solution they loose water by osmosis and shrink
Why does the skin of the fingers shrink when you wash clothes for a long time?
when we wash clothes our finger cells are dipped in hypertonic solution, so they loose water by osmosis and shrink.

When the elodea leaf is moved from salt solution n placed back in water what happens to the cells?
When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).
Is elodea cells organisms?
Is Elodea cell an organism?
How does water loss effect human cells?
It causes them to shrink as they "donate" the water inside them into the circulation, a process known as osmosis.
What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?
The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.
Solutions that cause water to enter cells by osmosis are termed?
hypotonic
Do Elodea cell have cytoplasm?
yes elodea cells do. They use it to move.
