What will happen to a red blood cell if placed in a bowl of concentrated salt solution?
Water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink and shrivel.
Where is water moving from in osmosis?
It move from the more concentrated place to the less concentrated place.
Would an animal shrivel in salt water?
it depends on what kind of animal for one. for two, it depends on how stong of a mixture you have of salt to water. if it is just regular salt water like from an ocean than no, but if you mix salt and water into a solution and the salt level is very high, it coiuld shrivel worms and things with slime.... but that would be cruel.
What would happen to a grape placed in a bowl with a highly concentrated sugar water?
the grape would shrivel up. This is because the water in the grape would leave it to try to balance out the sugar concentration.
What happens when an egg without shell placed in concentrated salt solution for 5 minutes?
It would shrivel up because the salt water can't get through the membrane.
Why do you shrivel when you get wet?
you shrivel because the water you were in is probably not a saline solution... basically there is salt in your body and if you are in the water for a long time, your skin will shrivel to make up the difference between how much salt is in your cells and how much is in the water
What are water sheds?
A water shed is a place I disney world guys
What happens when a potato is submerged in a sugar water concentrate?
The potato will shrivel up and release its water into the sugar water environment in order to dilute the surroundings until the concentration of sugar water is the same on the inside of the cell as the outside.And This is called OsmosisDefinition of Osmosis : Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentrated water to a region of water
Why does a grape shrivel up when placed in a hypertonic solution of salt?
This is caused by ex-osmosis. The slat solution wants to become less concentrated as that is more energetically favorable. It draws the water out of the water-rich cucumber which causes it to shrivel up. The water is following a concentration gradient from low to high.
What would the effect of a high solute solution be on bacteria?
A high solute solution, also called a hypertonic solution, would draw the water out of the bacteria cell causing it to shrivel and eventually die. This process utilizes osmosis, the water in the cell will move to where the solutes are more concentrated.
Is water and sugar a concentrated solution?
No solution is concentrated when there is water in it
What happens when fresh grapes are kept in concentrated sugar solution?
In brief: Plants produce glucose through photosynthesis. Sugar is a form of glucose. Adding sugar water to a plant does, in the short term offer small benefits as the plant is able to absorb small amount of glucose instead of using photosynthesis to produce it. Long term use of sugar water on plants will result in the death of the plant! To much sugar in the soil solution prevents or hampers osmosis, resulting in ineffective water and nutrient uptake by the plant. This results in discolouration, stunting, wilting and eventually death. Damage to the root system can be compounded as sugar offers a very good medium for fungal and bacterial colonies to develop in the soil, which my further damage a weakened root system.
