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 kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.
What occurs when cells lose water and shrink?
Plasmolysis occurs when cells lose water and shrink. It refers to the process wherein water is lost in a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution.
What happen to onion cell epidermis if placed in hypertonic solution?
Isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration as present in cell. So no osmosis will occur. Hence there will be a neutral effect.

What would happen if fluid outside the cells became hypertonic?
Acell placed in a highly concentrated solution will result in the water molecules diffusing out of the cell. Eventually, the cell will shrink. It should be noted, however, that not all cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. The cells have ways to circumvent hypertonicity (see osmoregulation).

What happens to cells in saltwater?
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
What occurs when cells lose water and shrink?
Plasmolysis occurs when cells lose water and shrink. It refers to the process wherein water is lost in a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution.
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 90 percent NaCI?
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.
Cells lose water when placed in which of the following solutions?
A hypertonic solution.
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 9.0 percent NaCl?
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).

What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
