If too little water moves out of a cell, it can lead to swelling and potential lysis (bursting) of the cell due to increased pressure from the excess water. This can disrupt the cell's normal functioning and potentially lead to cell damage or death.

What will happen to a cell as a result of osmosis?

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell causing it to shrink or shrivel. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell or burst. In an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water and the cell will remain the same.


What would happen if you had a cell in the water and molecules were in the cell and some were out the cell what would most likely happen after a period of time?

If the concentration of molecules is higher inside the cell compared to outside, water would move into the cell to dilute the higher concentration of molecules. This may cause the cell to swell or burst. If the concentration of molecules is higher outside the cell, water would move out of the cell causing it to shrink or shrivel. The movement of water is driven by osmosis, which aims to equalize the concentration of molecules inside and outside the cell.


in osmosis What happen in potato A and in potato B?

In osmosis, water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In potato A, if placed in a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration), water will move out of the potato causing it to shrink (plasmolysis). In potato B, if placed in a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration), water will move into the potato causing it to swell (turgor pressure).


Predict what might happen to an animal cell if you put it in distilled water?

The animal cell will swell and potentially burst due to water entering the cell through osmosis. The distilled water has a higher water concentration than inside the cell, causing water to move into the cell to try to equalize the concentration.


How do water molecules move in water?

Water molecules in water move by constantly vibrating and rotating due to thermal energy. They also move in a random fashion called Brownian motion, which is the result of collisions with other water molecules and particles in the water. The movement of water molecules is essential for processes like diffusion and convection to occur in water.

How do under water creatures move?

Underwater creatures move by using fins to push water behind them, or using little claws/feet to grab the ocean floor to push them along, or take in water and shoot it out behind them (like the squid), or use little arms to push little ounces of water out of the way or behind them.
