An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is a?
An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is .85% sodium chloride. When the osmotic pressure is the same outside the cells and inside the cells, the solution is isotonic.
In isotonic solution cells reach a point called dynamic?
In isotonic solution cells reach a point called dynamic equilibrium.
Are vacuoles in distilled water elodea leaf cells hypotonic isotonic?
isotonic, things remain the same
A cell that has neither a net gain nor a net lose of water when it is immersed in a solution is?
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
What happens to a cell in a isotonic solution?
the plasma membranes water flows at an equal rate. animal cells function the best in an isotonic environment. in an isotonic environment the blood cells stay normal and do not get lyced (which happens in hypotonic environments) and they do not shrivel (which happens in hypertonic environments).
What is surrounding fluid to a cells interior?
Yes, the interstitial fluid is an extracellular fluid that surrounds the cells.
A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be?
A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be is isotonic.
An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is a?
An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is .85% sodium chloride. When the osmotic pressure is the same outside the cells and inside the cells, the solution is isotonic.
Why is a sports drink used to extract the cheek cells?
its isotonic.
In isotonic solution cells reach a point called dynamic?
In isotonic solution cells reach a point called dynamic equilibrium.
Are vacuoles in distilled water elodea leaf cells hypotonic isotonic?
isotonic, things remain the same
What does the loss of isotonic solution lead to?
The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.
Is isotonic a condition that animal cells require?
yes
What type of environment do cells function best?
Isotonic
A cell that has neither a net gain nor a net lose of water when it is immersed in a solution is?
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
What does maintaining osmotic equilibrium mean?
Your cells are in an isotonic environment.
Do cells shrink in isotonic solution?
No, but in salt solution: Yes.
