A cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is 35 percent water Which way will the net movement of water go?

In this scenario, the cell and the surrounding solution have the same water concentration (both are 35 percent water). This means that the system is in an isotonic state, where the concentration of water inside the cell is equal to the concentration of water outside the cell.
In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water. Water molecules will move across the cell membrane in both directions, but there is no overall change in the water concentration inside or outside the cell. The cell's volume and shape will remain relatively stable.
In summary, if a cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is also 35 percent water, the net movement of water will be minimal, and the cell will generally maintain its size and shape.

What would happen if you put liver cell in a hyptonic solution?
If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net movement of water into the cell and it will eventually burst. If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there will be a net movement of water out of the cell and it will shrink.
A cell containing 98 percent water in its cytoplasm is placed in a 2 percent salt solution It should?
It loses water
What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to ___
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
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.

It loses water
Cell that contains 50 percent water is placed in a solution that is 30 percent water The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they both contain how much water?
The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they each contain 40 percent water. This equilibrium is achieved through osmosis.
A cell contains 3 percent salt and 97 percent water How would this cell respond if placed in a distilled water solution?
It has something to do with osmosis....
If a cell contains 97 percent water is placed into a 30 percent sugar solution what will happen to the cell?
The sugar solution is a hypertonic solution so water from the inside will exit through the cell membrane via osmosis and the cell will shrivel
What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
What will happen if a red blood cell is placed in 50 percent NaCl solution?
A red blood cell, when placed in 50% NaCl solution, will shrink as the water contained in it will be sucked into the surrounding solution doe to the osmotic pressure difference.
What would happen if a cell is placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution?
get larger and then smaller again
Water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a solution?
Hypertonic solution. To further elaborate my point, hypertonic solution is a solution which has less water potential and more solutes as compared to inside the cell. Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high water potential to low water potential through a partially permeable membrane. Therefore, water leaves the cell into the solution. Hope this helps!!:)
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 cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to ___
Would a cell placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution get larger or smaller?
get larger then smaller... XD
