hypertonic hypertonic
What else can I help you with?
Why does a cell swell in a hypotonic a solution?
It swells because of the amount of water it has inside
What happens to the cell wall in a hypertonic isotonic and hyotonic solution?
In a hypertonic solution, the cell wall will shrink away from the cell membrane due to water leaving the cell. In an isotonic solution, the cell wall maintains its shape as water moves in and out of the cell in equilibrium. In a hypotonic solution, the cell wall will swell as water moves into the cell, increasing the pressure inside the cell.
Why does the shape of a red blood cell change in different solutions?
The shape of a red blood cell changes in different solutions due to osmosis, where water moves in or out of the cell to reach equilibrium with the surrounding solution. In a hypotonic solution, the cell swells and may burst (lyse) due to excess water entering the cell. In a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks and becomes crenated due to water leaving the cell.
Do animal cells prefer hypertonic or hypotonic solutions?
isotonic solution is when the cell content has the same solute potential as the solution the cell is in. therefore no net movement of molecules.when a animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution containing less solute particles than inside cell e.g water) molecules move from a high water potential to a low one because diffusion. net movement is into the cell. because of this the cell swells and eventually burst. this is osmotic shock.in a hypertonic solution the net movement is out of the cell. the cell shrinks this is called crenation.plant cell have a cell wall so in a hypotonic solution the cell swells but doesn't not burst because of the strong structure of the cellulose cell wall.the cell becomes turgid.in a hypertonic solution the net movement is out of the cell because of the high solute conc outside the cell. the cell membrane begins to pull away from the cell wall. the cell is plasmolysed. when fully plasmolysed it is irreversible.
Why do cells or lyse when placed in hypotonic solution?
Cells lyse in a hypotonic solution because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside the cell, causing water to move into the cell by osmosis. This influx of water causes the cell to swell and eventually burst, leading to cell lysis.
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is .?
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells, the solution is Hypotonic. (check related links)
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells what is the solution?
hypotonic solutions
If a cell is dropped in any solution and the cell does not change size by either shrinking or swelling what is the solution?
isotonic
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
If water moves into a cell and the cells swells it's called what?
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.
What is a solution that neither shrinks nor swells a cell?
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will not shrink or swell. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes within the cell. Since both concentrations are the same, no water flows in or out of the cell due to osmotic pressure.
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell shrinks what should be assumed about the solution?
The solution is likely hypertonic and water is leaving the cell.
Why does a cell swell in a hypotonic a solution?
It swells because of the amount of water it has inside
What is the word that means that a cell swells and burst?
When a cell swells and burst
How can one determine if a solution is hypotonic?
A solution is hypotonic if it has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution. This can be determined by observing whether a cell placed in the solution gains water and swells up, indicating that water is moving into the cell due to the lower concentration of solutes outside the cell.
What is cell swells?
Bloating of cell is cell swelling .
What happens to the cell wall in a hypertonic isotonic and hyotonic solution?
In a hypertonic solution, the cell wall will shrink away from the cell membrane due to water leaving the cell. In an isotonic solution, the cell wall maintains its shape as water moves in and out of the cell in equilibrium. In a hypotonic solution, the cell wall will swell as water moves into the cell, increasing the pressure inside the cell.
