What is the shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis called?

The shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis is called plasmolysis. This occurs when a plant cell loses water due to a hypertonic environment, causing the cell membrane to detach from the cell wall.

How does water move from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution?

Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This movement helps to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.


When comparing two solutions the solution with the greater concentration of the solutes is called?

its called hypertonic


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 term is descriptive of the solution with the higher solute concentration?

The term "hypertonic solution" is used to describe a solution with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. In a hypertonic solution, water tends to move out of cells, which can lead to cell shrinkage or crenation.


A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called?

A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called hypertonic. This means that the solute concentration in the solution is higher compared to the solute concentration inside the cell. Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will lose water and shrink due to osmosis.


What is the shrinking of a cell called?

A plasmolysis solution is the opposite of a hypotonic solution because in a plasmolysis solution the cell will shrink due to the little amount of water outside the cell and the greater amount of water inside the cell. A plasmolysis solution only occurs in plant cells.


What is it called when a red blood cell bursts from a hypotonic solution?

When cell is placed in a hypertonic solution water moves out, first from cytoplasm and then from vacuole. Cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall. This is known as plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is when a protoplast of a plant cell starts to shrink due to water loss from the cell. This causes gaps between the cell wall and cell membrane.
