Pumice is a porous rock that can float on water. It's density is less tham 1g per cm.
an aquaruim is a place where fishes are placed with water inside it.
it will goes under the water.
We would not be able to drink the water or eat the fish.
No not every thing is made of cells. rocks are not, water is not and air is not. cells are for living things. a small germ is a single cell, a small bug is a group of many cells. and you are a very large group of cells all working together for mutual benefit.
The hypothesis of an osmosis lab with an Elodea leaf could be that the Elodea leaf will lose water and shrink when placed in a hypertonic solution due to water moving out of the leaf cells by osmosis, causing the cells to become flaccid. Conversely, if the Elodea leaf is placed in a hypotonic solution, it may gain water, swell, and become turgid as water moves into the leaf cells via osmosis.
The scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells when placed in a hypotonic solution is turgid. This occurs when water moves into the cell causing it to swell and become firm.
If the vacuoles in Elodea leaf cells are placed in distilled water, they become hypotonic. Distilled water has a lower solute concentration compared to the vacuoles of the cells, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, leading to swelling and eventual bursting of the cells.
Adding fresh water to elodea in salt water would cause the elodea cells to absorb more water by osmosis. This would lead to an increase in turgor pressure within the cells, causing them to become firm and potentially burst due to the difference in salt concentration between the cell and the surrounding salt water.
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).
Yes, elodea cells have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, including those of the elodea plant. The green color of elodea leaves is due to the presence of chlorophyll in the chloroplasts.
Elodea is an aquatic plant commonly known as waterweed. It belongs to the genus Elodea within the family Hydrocharitaceae. Elodea is often used in biology classrooms for studying plant cells and photosynthesis.
Elodea is a submerged aquatic plant that obtains oxygen and carbon dioxide directly from the surrounding water rather than from the air. Therefore, cutin, stomata, and guard cells, which are typically found in terrestrial plants for gas exchange, are not necessary for Elodea's survival in its watery environment.
When an elodea leaf is mounted on a 10 percent salt solution, the cells of the leaf will lose water through osmosis. This will cause the cells to shrink and the leaf to become flaccid. The high salt concentration outside the cells will create a hypertonic environment, leading to water moving out of the cells to try to balance the concentration of solutes.
water leaves the cell causeing the cell to shrink.
Today I just did a lab viewing elodea cells and human cheek cells. When I viewed the Elodea cells on the highest power, I saw chloroplasts moving. They looked like tiny green spheres moving in little groups of two or more on a set of "tracks". I hope this answers the question.
