Because the addition of salt, the solution outside of the cell become hypertonic to the cell. This means that the water has left the cell because it was following the concentration gradient. Visually: all the chloroplasts which were originally lining the outside of the cell are now grouped in the middle of the cell because the cell has become shriveled.
What else can I help you with?
What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?
The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.
Onion cells and elodea cells structure differences?
An ELODEA cell is a PLANT cell. A HUMAN EPIDERMAIL cell is an ANIMAL cell. if you know that plant cells and animal cells have different organelles, then you should be good to go.
When the elodea leaf is moved from salt solution n placed back in water what happens to the cells?
When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).
Do Elodea cells have starch?
if starch is present in a substance, the solution IKI when combined will turn the substance a blue-black color. When the plant Elodea was combined with IKI the elodea did not turn a blue-black color. Hence elodea does not contain starch.
Is the elodea cell a single celled organism?
Yes. An organism is anything that is alive. What constitutes alive? Something that's alive fulfills these 7 requirements: Homeostasis. This means regulating the internal environment. Does Elodea regulate itself? Yes. Organization, or being made up of one or more cells. Elodea is made of cells. Metabolism, or making cells and energy. Does Elodea do this? Yes. Growth. Does Elodea grow? Yes. Adaptation, or being able to change in response to its environment. Can Elodea change in response to its environment? Yes. It will grow towards a source of light. Response to stimuli. Yes, Elodea does respond to stimuli. As mentioned before, it will grow towards light. Reproduction, or producing new organisms. Can Elodea reproduce? Yes. Elodea fulfills all of these conditions; therefore, it is alive and therefore an organism.
Are Elodea plants freshwater or saltwater plants?
Elodea is a freshwater aquatic plant.
Which are smaller onion cells or elodea?
Elodea cells are smaller
What happens to cells in saltwater?
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
Is elodea cells organisms?
Is Elodea cell an organism?
Would you see the same effect in the elodea cells if you used a glucose solution Instead of salt water solution?
If you used a glucose solution instead of a saltwater solution on Elodea cells, the effect would likely differ due to the osmotic properties of the solutions. Saltwater is hypertonic to the cells, causing water to leave the cells and leading to plasmolysis. In contrast, a glucose solution may be isotonic or even hypotonic, which could maintain or increase turgor pressure in the cells, preventing plasmolysis and potentially resulting in healthier, more turgid cells.
Do Elodea cell have cytoplasm?
yes elodea cells do. They use it to move.
What cell has chloroplasts onion cell or elodea cell?
Both. Both cells are plant cells and plant cells have chloroplasts. (Elodea is the waterweeds)
What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?
The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.
Does elodea cell have chloroplast?
Yes, elodea cells have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, including those of the elodea plant. The green color of elodea leaves is due to the presence of chlorophyll in the chloroplasts.
What structure the cheeks cells and the Elodea cells have in common?
Both cells
Is elodea made up of one cell or many cells?
Elodea is a multicellular organism.
Do elodea cells have chloroplasts?
yes
