What is the scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells placed in a hypotonic solution?
The scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells when placed in a hypotonic solution is turgid. This occurs when water moves into the cell causing it to swell and become firm.
To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
Solution that causes a cell to swell?
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What is the scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells placed in a hypotonic solution?
The scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells when placed in a hypotonic solution is turgid. This occurs when water moves into the cell causing it to swell and become firm.
What is a sentence for hypotonic?
Hypotonic means having reduced pressure or tone. That solution is hypotonic compared to this one.
To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
What type of solution is a cell in if water moves into the cell?
It is in a Hypotonic Solution.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.)

So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
What are the 3 stages of osmosis?
The three stages of osmosis are isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water molecules. In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.
Solution that causes a cell to swell?
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell.

Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
If water moves into a cell and the cells swells it's called what?
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.
Water moves out of a cell if it is placed in this kind of solution?
hypertonic solution!
What happen if cell is placed in hypotonic solution?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypo tonic solution it undergoes endosmosis thus the cell becomes turgid but in case of animal cell due to the absence of cell wall the cell may not withhold the turgour pressure and might blast.
