What will happen if a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic salt solution?
A hypertonic solution is a solution that has a high concentration of solute, in this case the solute being salt. When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, since the salt concentration is higher in the outside of the cell, the water concentration is lower there as well. Therefore, through the process of osmosis, the water diffuses from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell.
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 is a hypertonic solutions?
Solution that has less concentration than its surroundings and which would lead the solution from the surrounding to enter the body to compensate for the low concentration
Explain why cucumber slices spring water when salt is added to it in terms of osmosis?
The salt creates the equivalent of a hypertonic solution outside the cucumber's cells. A hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solute (think of solute as particles, and in this case, sodium and chloride atoms from the table salt) is greater than the solution it is being compared to--in this case, the liquid inside the cucumber cells. In order to equilibrate osmotically, water diffuses out of the cucumber's cells in the direction of the high salt "solution." The process is used, in effect, to "dry out" the cucumber so that recipes that use these slices won't be soggy.
What could cause a cell to shrivel up?
It will shrivel when the concentration of a solute is higher on the outside because water will leave the cell to try and balance out the concentration.

What will happen to decalcified eggs when placed into a hypertonic solution?
This is answered in dot point form because this is the best way to answer your questions in VCE biology -A decalcified egg that is placed in a hypertonic solution will mean that the solute concentration outside of the egg is higher than the solute concentration in the egg cells -This means that due to the solute not being able to move through the semi-permeable membrane, osmosis will take place -Water molecules will move out of the egg to equalize the concentration of the solute outside of the cells and the solute concentration within the cells -Therefore, this will cause a decrease in the mass of the decalcified egg (the more hypertonic a solution is that the decalcified egg is placed into, the greater the percentage of mass loss there will be due to the increase in osmosis) Hope this helped ^-^
Why onion cells 5 percent salt solution hypertonic?
A cell is hypertonic when it has a greater concentration than its environment, but, when a solution is hypertonic, it has a greater concentration than the cell it is being compared to. For example, a 5% salt solution is hypertonic to an onion cell while the onion cell is hypotonic to the solution.The salt concentration of an onion cell must be less than 5% - actually its somewhere between 1.6 and 1.3 percent.This question should not be in genetics, but I don't feel like switching it.
What is the difference between isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solution?
The words isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic refer to the relationship between two solutions. - When two solutions are isotonic to one another, the two solutions have the same amount of solute as each other. - When a solution is hypertonic in reference to another solution, that solution has more solute than the other. - When a solution is hypotonic in reference to another solution, that solution has less solute than the other. - Thus, on a scale of INCREASING solutes, you could align three solutions like this: hypotonic --> isotonic --> hypertonic. Secondly, since substances move from a region of high concentration (more solute) to low concentration (less solute), remember that solutes will always move from a hypertonic solution to a hypotonic solution OR solvents will always move from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution. A good way to remember this is to know that "hyper" means above (more than) and hypo means "below" (less than), e.g. in HYPERactive = being really energetic or more energetic than normal vs. HYPOthermia = being very cold or below the normal temperature. A way to figure out whether a solution is isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic in respect to another solution is to figure out the solutions tonacities. Tonacity is the measure of solute in a solution. Therefore, something hypertonic has more tonacity or more solute than another solution. Some people learn the term "solute potential," which has a similar concept to tonacity. Examples: A 0.4 mol glucose solution is isotonic to a 0.4 mol glucose solution. A 0.4 mol glucose solution is hypertonic to a 0.2 mol glucose solution. A 0.2 mol glucose solution is hypotonic to a 0.4 mol glucose solution.

Silver shine
What is an example of Crenation?
Crenation is an example of osmosis. In this process, the cell distorts and shrinks after being placed in a hypotonic solution.

What is the term used to describe a solution that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution?
Lower concentration of solute is known as the hypotonic solution. The solution with a higher concentration of solute is the hypertonic solution. One with equal solute in solution and whatever its being compared with is known as the isotonic solution.
What are particle solutions?
Solute particles are the particles of solid material that are being placed into a solvent. A solute dissolved in a solvent makes a solution.
