Which term is used to describe an animal's ability to survive if the cells are exposed to a hypotonic or hypertonic environment?
Osmoregulation is the term used to describe an animal's ability to survive if the cells are exposed to a hypotonic or hypertonic environment. This process helps maintain the balance of water and ions within the animal's cells to ensure their survival.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What correctly describes the normal tonicity conditions for typical plant and animal cells?
Typical plant cells have a tonicity that is hypotonic to their environment, meaning they have a higher solute concentration than the surrounding environment. In contrast, typical animal cells have a tonicity that is isotonic to their environment, meaning their internal and external solute concentrations are balanced.
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).
Example hypertonic solution?
hypertonic solution is when the cell contains more water inside of it than there is in its environment. Because of the process of osmosis, the water inside the cell will move outside into the environment to make it balanced. This will cause the cell to shrivel up. An example would be a water balloon filled with water. The water inside would leak out if there is a hole in the balloon (cells already have tiny openings so it doesnt need to be ruptured for this to occur) because there is more water inside than there is in its environment. The balloon will eventually leak out all its water and become shriveled. Hope that helps!
What is the term used to describe the type of solution in which cells will lose water to their environment?
Cells immersed in hypertonic solutions lose water and shrink, or crenate.
What happens to a cell plant cell or animal cell when placed in following solution a hypotonic solution b isotonic solution c hypertonic solution?
When placed in an isotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is roughly equal to the that within cells), there is equal diffusion of water into and out of the cells. Therefore, the cells find this environment suitable. In a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is much more than that within cells) water diffuses into cells as a result of which the cells swell. Excessive swelling causes the cells to burst, a phenomenon called cell lysis In a hypertonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is lesser than that within cells) water moved out from within cells to the surrounding medium. As a result of this, cells shrink.
Ocean water is hypertonic to the internal environment of the body predict what would happen to an individual who consumes large quantities of ocean water?
If you drink ocean water when your dehydrated it makes you even more so. In a hypertonic solution water moves out of the cells because the the particles want to have equal concentration gradients. Since a hypertonic solution has a high concentration of solutes in it it makes sense for the water from a cell to move out so that the environment in the cell and environment outside both have the same concentration of solutes. Human cells shrivel in a hypertonic solution, this kills the cells and can therefore kills you if enough cells can't function. answer: the indivdual dies

Do plants like to be hypertonic or hypotonic in their environment?
Plants prefer to be in a hypotonic environment, where the surrounding solution has a lower solute concentration than the plant cells. This allows for water to flow into the plant cells through osmosis, maintaining turgor pressure and supporting cell structure and function. In a hypertonic environment, water would flow out of the plant cells, causing them to shrink and wilt.
If cells are placed in a solution with a high concentration of solute water will?
the molecules will pass from the salt solution to the cells.
A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be?
An isotonic solution. This means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is the same as the concentration of solutes inside the cells, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane.

What is a Term used to describe a solution mostly formed of water?
aqueous
