The net effect would be water moving into the cell. This occurs because water moves from an area of higher concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower concentration (inside the cell) to equalize the concentration of solutes. This leads to cell swelling or potentially bursting if not regulated.
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
Substances can move into the water outside the dialysis bag through a process called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of particles (in this case, solutes) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. This allows substances to pass through the semi-permeable membrane of the dialysis bag and into the surrounding water.
It swells because of the amount of water it has inside
Exosmosis occurs when water moves out of a cell or other structure due to a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. An example is when a plant cell loses water and wilts due to higher salt concentration in the soil. Endosmosis occurs when water moves into a cell or other structure due to a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell. An example is when a red blood cell swells and may burst in a hypotonic solution with lower solute concentration than the cell.
It depends on the concentration of solutes inside and outside the baggie or beaker. If the concentration of solutes is higher inside the baggie or beaker compared to the surrounding environment, then it is hypertonic. If the concentration is lower, then it is hypotonic.
"Hypotonic" refers to a solution that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution. In biology, a hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes outside of a cell compared to inside, causing water to move into the cell and potentially cause it to swell and burst.
The three types of solutions in animal and plant cells are isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell compared to inside, causing the cell to swell. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell compared to inside, causing the cell to shrink.
Osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from where it is in high concentration to where it is in lower concentration. The purpose of osmosis is to equalize the concentration of solutes inside a cell and outside a cell.
During osmosis, water molecules move from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. This process helps to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
The net movement of solutes to regions of lower concentration is called diffusion. This process occurs in response to the concentration gradient, where solutes move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.
Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions both refer to the concentration of solutes compared to a cell. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell.

Hemolysis occurs when a blood cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, causing water to rush into the cell and burst it open. This can happen when the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside, leading to osmotic imbalance and cell lysis.
