What will cause the cell to shrink when placed in hypertonic solution?
The cytoplasm looses water to the cell exterior.
A bag with a 2 percent solution is placed in a beaker that has a 10 percent solution is the solution in the bag hypotonic hypertonic or isotonic?
hypertonic
If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell and collects in?
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
If a cell with 95 percent water is placed into a solution of 10 percent salt what solution is the cell in?
If a cell containing 97% water was placed in a hypertonic solution of 10% salt and 90% water, then the cell would crenate. This occurs due to osmosis. The hypertonic solution will pull out the water which will cause the cell to shrink. It does this to reach equilibrium but equilibrium cannot be attained. The concentration of the hypertonic solution is too great for the cell or Isotonic so the permeable cell will give to the osmotic pressure being greater than turgor pressure; solute and waste will be removed from the cell causing it to shrink in size because the turgor pressure keeps the cell stable.
What happens if a cell is placed in a beaker containing isotonic solution?
well it would be that their is an equal amount of solution inside and outside the cell. it is neither hypotonic or hypertonic. it is balanced or equal.
What would happen if a cell containing 97 percent water were placed in a 10 percent salt solution?
Water would exit the cell causing the cell to shrink until an equilibrium is reached.
What happens when a bacterial cell is placed in a solution containing 5 percent NaCl?
Exo-osmosis of the bacterial cell takes place, the cell plasmolised & cell can die.
What will cause the cell to shrink when placed in hypertonic solution?
The cytoplasm looses water to the cell exterior.
A bag with a 2 percent solution is placed in a beaker that has a 10 percent solution is the solution in the bag hypotonic hypertonic or isotonic?
hypertonic
If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell and collects in?
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
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.
With a toxicity equivalent to 0.9 NaCl and is placed in a solution containing 0.2 is this hypertonic?
A toxicity equivalent in 0.2 solution is hyper-tonic.
Effect hot solution containing dissolved benzoic acid immediately placed ice bath?
it melts
What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in 50 percent salt solution?
It will shrink.
What would happen to an animal cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?
You need dayan 2 hours
Cremation of a red blood cell may occur when it is placed in?
salt or a water solution containing alot of salt
Human red blood cells placed in a 2 percent percent salt solution appear to shrink but those placed in a 0.4 percent salt solution burst Which statement best supports these observation?
Osmosis may occur in either direction across the cell membrane.
