Fluid found OUtSiDE of a cell is called?

cytoplasm


Fluids located outside a cell?

Extracellular fluid is fluid located outside a cell. The average person has about 19 liters of extracellular fluid in his body.


All the parts of the cell outside of the nucleus are found in the gooey fluid of the?

The fluid contained with the cell membrane but outside the nucleus is called the cytoplasm.


Which organelle generates movement of fluid outside the cell?

The organelle that generates movement of fluid outside the cell is the cytoplasm. It usually produces a fluid which is known as cytosol.


Why must the concentration of the fluid surrounding red blood cells be the right strength?

ISO-TONIC If a concentration of fluid is greater outside of the cell, then the cell will be in a hypotonic solution. Then it will expand and possibly explode. If a greater concentration of fluid is inside the cell, then the cell will be in a hypertonic solution. Then the fluid will diffuse out of the cell and it will become shriveled up and lose it's effectiveness. When the right concentration of fluid is the same as inside the cell as outside, then the solution is isotonic (where the cell wants to be).


If extracellular fluid around a cell is hypotonic then the cytoplasm within the cell is what?

the outside would be hypertonic.


Difference between intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid?

Cytoplasm is the inner part of the cell or its the contents of the cell, which is surrounded by plasma membrane. While extracellular fluid is the fluid located outside of the cells and divided into 1.plasma in the blood vessel. 2.interstitial fluid between the cells.


Why and how does the ECF differ from the ICF?

The acronym ECF stands for extracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of the cell in the human body.


What will happen if there is no osmosis in an organism?

Cells cannot be alive and function without osmosis. Osmosis helps to maintain an equilibrium between the pressure within the cell and outside the cell. If the fluid volume within the cell is more than the fluid volume outside the cell, the cell swells up due to the excess fluid and pressurize the cell wall causing it to burst. If the fluid volume outside the cell is less than the fluid volume inside the cell, the pressure exerted on the cell wall from outside will cause the cell to cave in and collapse. In plants osmosis helps to absorb water and nutrients and transfer it to other parts of the cell. In animal cells it aids in distribution of nutrients and removal of toxic wastes. Living organisms cannot live without the process of osmosis.

If cytoplasm and fluid outside the cell have the same concentration it is called?

The outside of an animal cell is?

This is the cell membrane or plasma membrane which is made of a phospholipid bilayer.
