In a hypertonic solution water is most likely to move out of the cell because it is in a high concentration and the cell will shrink. They tend to give up water across the permiable cell membrane

What happens to an amoeba when it is placed in hypertonic solution?

When placed in a hypertonic solution, an amoeba will lose water to the surrounding environment through osmosis. This loss of water causes the cell to shrink and may eventually lead to dehydration and cell death if the solution is highly concentrated.

Is a hypertonic solution is one with low solute concentration?

No, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrink or crenate.


What happens to a animal cell when in a hypertonic solution?

A hypertonic solution is less concentrated compared to the cytoplasm of the animal cell. When an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water diffuses across the selectively permeable cell membrane in an attempt to form an equilibrium between the two liquids. If the solution is hypertonic enough compared to the cell's cytoplasm, the cell would swell and could possibly explode.


What happens to a cell that is placed in a hypertonic hypotonic and isotonic environment?

An Animal Cell in hypertonic solution will look shriveled due to osmotic effects on the cell. the hypertonic solution means there is more water potential outside of the cell, water moves from a low water potential to a high water potential. Therefore the water diffuses out of the cell decreasing the volume bringing the cell membrane in making it look shriveled up.


What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
