What else can I help you with?
If a 5 per cent sucrose solution is separated from a 10 per cent sucrose solution by a semipermeable membrane Which solution is hypotonic Which solution is hypertonic?
The weaker solution (here, 5%) is hypotonic. The stronger is hypertonic."Hypo-" means "below". A hypodermic needle goes below the skin."Hyper-" means "above". A hyperactive child is above average (in activity!).
What is the function of sucrose in the homogenization buffer during fractionation of cells?
Sucrose in the homogenization buffer helps to create a hypertonic environment, which helps to maintain the osmotic balance of the cell during the fractionation process. It also provides a medium for cell disruption and organelle separation due to differences in buoyant densities.
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
Is water hypertonic in nature?
No, water is not hypertonic in nature.
Is sugar hypotonic or hypertonic in a solution?
Sugar is hypertonic in a solution.
Is 1M NaCl solution more or less hypertonic than 1M sucrose?
A 1M NaCl solution is more hypertonic than a 1M sucrose solution. This is because NaCl dissociates into two ions (Na⁺ and Cl⁻) in solution, effectively doubling the concentration of solute particles compared to the non-dissociating sucrose. Therefore, the osmotic pressure of the NaCl solution is higher, making it more hypertonic.

A dialysis bag is filled with distilled water and then placed in a sucrose solution?
Distilled water will move out of the dialysis bag and into the sucrose solution due to osmosis and the fact that the dialysis bag has a hypertonic solution of H2O as compared to the sucrose solution.

What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
Are saltwater fish hypotonic or hypertonic?
hypertonic!
Is dns hypo or hypertonic fluid?
hypertonic
Is 10gdL of NaCl hypertonic in blood?
It is hypertonic.
Is water hypertonic in nature?
No, water is not hypertonic in nature.
What will happen when a gram positive bacterium is placed in a aqueous solution of lysozyme and 10 percent sucrose?
The lysozyme will break down the peptidoglycan layer of the gram positive bacterium, causing it to lose its structural integrity and burst. The presence of sucrose will create a hypertonic environment, leading to osmotic dehydration of the bacterium due to water moving out of the cell, adding to its demise.
Why is it that when you put a potato in a high concentration of sucrose solution does its weight decrease?
This is because the potato, which is mostly water, is in a hypertonic solution (a solution with less water and more solute --here, sucrose-- than the potato). Since the solutions want to reach equilibrium (equal amounts of sucrose and water in both the solution and the potato), water diffuses out of the potato and sucrose diffuses into it. The potato loses its water weight, and sucrose doesn't replace the weight lost, the potato weighs less.
