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.
What would happen if an cell was placed in a hypertonic solution?
It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.
What would happen to marine protozoan if removed from its normal habitat and placed into a freshwater pool?
Loss of water through osmosis is what would occur. The protozoan would shrivel up if it did not have a way to replace freshwater in its cells.
If Too much water moved into a cell?
The water vacuole would burst
What would happen to plants if you put into pure water?
it will swell, but won't lyse.
What would happen if you placed a normal body cell into fresh water?
it cause it to swell
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.
What will happen if sea urchin eggs are taken from the sea and placed in fresh water?
the eggs would swell in size because of the salt in the sea water.
If sea urchin eggs are taken from the sea and placed in fresh water what will happen?
the eggs would swell in size because of the salt in the sea water.
Would a carrott shrink or swell in salt water or in fresh water?
shrink in salt water. swell in fresh water.

What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in distilled water?
because of osmosis it would get fatter and fatter with water till it burst. aww.

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.
What would happen if you placed an artificial cell with 5M glucose in a beaker with pure water?
A solution which has a high concentration of a solute (example - glucose) will have a low water concentration. But when you look at pure water it has a high water concentration. So if a cell contains a high concentration of glucose and was placed in a pure water solution, water would simply move down its concentration gradient (going from high to low) which eventually causes the cell to swell. I hope this helped :D
