A cell immersed is a hypertonic solution will tend to lose water to the solution and shrink.

If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell shrinks what should be assumed about the solution?

The solution is likely hypertonic and water is leaving the cell.


What would happen to a houseplant if you water it with salt water hypertonic solution?

It will die.


To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?

Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.


What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?

Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.


What would happen to a loin fish in a hypertonic solution?

The solution will gain water from the fish, till the fish shrinks, and if the fish is not removed from the solution, the fish will die


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


What will happen to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

In a hypertonic solution, the cell will lose water to the surrounding solution through osmosis, causing the cell to shrink or shrivel up. This occurs because the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside, resulting in a net movement of water out of the cell.


What type of solution is hypertonic?

Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.


Does a hypertonic solution have more water compared to other types of solutions?

No, a hypertonic solution has less water compared to other types of solutions.


What does a hypertonic solution have?

A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell the solution is in. (So the cell will shrink when it is in a hypertonic solution, because water will leave the cell in an attempt to balance the ratios of solute to water both inside and outside of the cell.)


What is the solution that contains more water than what is located in the cells?

A hypertonic Solution. a solution that has a greater concentration of water than the cell content is hypotonic, meaning there is less concentration of water inside the cell, which results in an increase or an expansion of the cell.


Which solution has more solute-hypo or hypertonic?

A hypertonic solution has more solute compared to a hypotonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher, causing water to move out of the cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower, which leads to water moving into the cells.
