What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
What is the solution concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the cell than in the solution in which it is placed?
The solution concentration of dissolved substances will be greater inside the cell than outside if the cell is in a hypertonic solution. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to shrinkage or crenation of the cell.
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
The solution is said to be hypertonic to the cell. This means that there is a higher concentration of solute outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell in order to balance the concentration, which can lead to cell dehydration.
Which type of solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water leaving the cell by osmosis, causing it to shrink.
Is the solution in the hypotonic state transitioning from a low concentration to a high concentration?
No, in a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration is lower outside the cell compared to inside the cell, so the transition is from a high concentration to a low concentration.

What is done to a cell that is placed in a hypo tonic solution?
It will probably burst.A hypo-tonic solution means that there is less dissolved solute in the solution than there is in the cell, and a greater concentration of the solution (ie water).Since there's a greater concentration of water outside the cell, osmosis will cause a net movement of water into the cell, causing it to swell and most-likely burst.

There is a greater concentration of na plus and there is a greater concentration of k plus in the cell?
There is a greater concentration of Na plus outside and there is a greater concentration of K plus inside the cell. When the stimulus is delivered, the permeability of the membrane is changed, and Na plus diffuses into the cell, initiating the depolarization of the membrane.
What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell than inside?
Water will move out of the cell in an attempt to equalize the concentration of dissolved substances, causing the cell to shrink or shrivel up. This process is known as crenation, and can have negative effects on the cell's functioning.
How are hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution the same?
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.
When do Hemolysis occurs when a blood cell is placed into?
A hypotonic solution. The concentration of solute inside the cell is greater than that outside the cell and water enters the cell by osmosis. Water travels from an area of higher water concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower water concentration (inside the cell) and the cell swells.
Concentration of solutes inside the cell equals outside the cell?
isotonic solution
What would be the effect on red blood cell that 10 percent glucose solution would have?
That depends on the concentration of glucose inside of the red blood cell (RBC). If the glucose concentration inside the cells is less than the concentration outside the cell, then water will pass through the cell's membrane and into the surrounding fluid. If the concentration inside the RBC is greater than that of the outside solution, then the RBC will taken in water. Most likely, this will cause the cell to lyse open (burst) and die.
