Which type of solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water leaving the cell by osmosis, causing it to shrink.
What kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.
Which red blood cell has been placed in a hypertonic solution?
The red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink due to water leaving the cell to try to equalize the solute concentration inside and outside the cell. This will cause the cell to shrivel and lose its usual shape.
If a cell with 95 percent water is placed into a solution of 10 percent salt what solution is the cell in?
If a cell containing 97% water was placed in a hypertonic solution of 10% salt and 90% water, then the cell would crenate. This occurs due to osmosis. The hypertonic solution will pull out the water which will cause the cell to shrink. It does this to reach equilibrium but equilibrium cannot be attained. The concentration of the hypertonic solution is too great for the cell or Isotonic so the permeable cell will give to the osmotic pressure being greater than turgor pressure; solute and waste will be removed from the cell causing it to shrink in size because the turgor pressure keeps the cell stable.
What solution cause cell to shrink?
hypertonic :)

Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.

Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
What will happen to a carrot in a concentrated salt solution?
When placed in a concentrated salt solution, the carrot will lose water through the process of osmosis. This will cause the carrot to shrink and become limp as the water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the carrot) to an area of lower concentration (the solution).

WHAT happen if plant cell is placed n hyper tonic solution?
If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding solution. This loss of water can cause the cell to shrink and undergo plasmolysis, which may ultimately lead to cell death.
What type of solution is hypertonic?
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
