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 else can I help you with?
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?
If the cell and the solution contain the same percentage of water, the solution is isotonic. This means that the net movement of water will not be in either direction, there will be no net movement.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What are the results when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink or shrivel up. This is because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, creating an osmotic gradient that leads to water loss from the cell.
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?
The cell will undergo osmosis, with water moving out of the cell to dilute the higher concentration of salt outside. This will cause the cell to shrink as water leaves the cytoplasm to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
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 both contain 40% water. At equilibrium, the water will flow from the region of higher concentration (50% in the cell) to the region of lower concentration (30% in the solution) until the concentrations are equal.
If a cell is placed in a solution water flows from the cycloplasm of the cell to the solution?
Hypertonic
What will happen to a red blood cell placed in a solution of 99.3 percent water and 0.7 percent salt?
When red onions are placed in a solution with fifteenth percent salt and forty- five percent water, the water leaves the red onion cells through osmosis until the cell membrane will eventually collapse.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What would happen if a cell is placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution?
When a cell is placed in distilled water, water will move into the cell by osmosis causing it to swell and potentially burst. If the swollen cell is then transferred to a 5% salt solution, water will move out of the cell to try to reach equilibrium with the surrounding solution, causing the cell to shrink and possibly undergo crenation.
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
If a cell contains 97 percent water is placed into a 30 percent sugar solution what will happen to the cell?
The cell will lose water through osmosis as water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the cell) to an area of lower concentration (outside the cell). This process will cause the cell to shrink or shrivel up.
Water moves out of a cell if it is placed in this kind of solution?
hypertonic solution!
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?
If the cell and the solution contain the same percentage of water, the solution is isotonic. This means that the net movement of water will not be in either direction, there will be no net movement.
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
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
A cell contains 3 percent salt and 97 percent water How would this cell respond if placed in a distilled water solution?
The cell would undergo the process of osmosis, where water molecules move from the area of higher concentration (the distilled water solution) to the area of lower concentration (inside the cell). This would cause the cell to expand and potentially burst due to the influx of water.
