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
What will happen if a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic salt solution?
Well, honey, if you throw a blood cell into a hypertonic salt solution, that cell is gonna shrivel up like a raisin in the sun. The salt solution outside the cell has more solutes than inside, so water will leave the cell to try to balance things out, leaving the poor cell looking like a deflated balloon. So, in short, that blood cell is gonna have a bad day.
What could cause a cell to shrivel up?
A cell could shrivel up due to dehydration, loss of osmotic balance, or exposure to a hypertonic solution causing water to move out of the cell. This leads to a decrease in cell volume and potential damage to cellular structures.
What happens to animal cells in salt water?
Salt water is hypertonic (has more solute) to the cell. So when an animal cell is put in salt solution water will rush out and the cell will shrivel up because there is too much salt and too little water inside. the salt solution is said to be hypertonic to the cytoplasm of the cells.
Is the hypertonic solution being used in or out of the experiment?
The hypertonic solution is being used in the experiment.

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 ^-^

What is an example of Crenation?
An example of crenation is when red blood cells lose water and shrink in a hypertonic solution, such as saltwater. This causes the cells to have a scalloped appearance due to the contraction of the cell membrane.
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.
Which solution in the titration is taken in conical flask?
The solution being titrated is placed in the conical flask. The titrant (the solution being added during titration) is then slowly added to the solution in the conical flask until the endpoint is reached.
What happens when a plant is placed in a hypnotic solution?
When a plant is placed in a hypnotic solution, it may exhibit altered growth patterns, changes in leaf morphology, or other physiological responses. The solution could affect the plant's hormone balance, leading to unusual behaviors or growth. However, the long-term effects of such treatment on the plant's health and well-being are not well understood.
What happens if a cell is placed in a high salt solution?
If a cell is placed in a high salt solution, water will move out of the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to shrink and potentially die. This is because the concentration of salt outside the cell is higher than inside, creating a hypertonic environment.
What happens to red blood cells placed1.5 percent saline?
When red blood cells are placed in a 1.5% saline solution, the solution is hypertonic compared to the cells. This causes water to move out of the cells through osmosis, leading to the cells shrinking and potentially undergoing crenation. Gradually, the red blood cells may lose their normal shape and functionality as a result of being in a hypotonic environment.
