What will happen to a unicellular organism when it is placed in a concentration of salt solution?
It will shrivel up and get smaller. The water in the cell will attempt to escape from the cell to "even out" the higher concentration salt outside it. This results in the cell decreasing size. This illustrates why it is so dangerous to drink salt water, even if you're very thirsty.

What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both 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).
What would happen if you mixed a hypertonic solution and a hypotonic solution?
If place in a hypertonic solution it would swell and/or burst because to much water is getting in the cell from the hypertonic solution ( osmosis ). If placed in a hypotonic solution it will end up shrinking from the water leaving the cell to the hypotonic solution ( again osmosis ). Osmosis is when water moves to a lower pressure of water so if there's more water pressure in the cell it will move out into the less dense solution. :)
What will happen to a cell dropped into a solution of hypertonic salt water?
The cell will lose water due to osmosis, causing it to shrink or shrivel up. The higher concentration of salt outside the cell compared to inside creates a hypertonic environment, leading to water moving out of the cell to try to balance the concentration inside and outside.
What happens to a red blood cell when exposed to isotonic solutions?
When a red blood cell is exposed to an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell. This means that the cell maintains its normal shape and volume, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is balanced.
What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time?
The organism would swell and then burst.
What would happen if you had no resiratory system?
Are you serious?!?! You would die! How else would you obtain oxygen needed for respiration? (unless you're a unicellular organism!)
What would happen to a single-celled organism if it were treat it with a high salt or high water solution?
Nothing
What would happen if Increasing the salt concentration in a solution?
Increasing the salt concentration in a solution would lead to an increase in the density of the solution. It would also increase the boiling point and lower the freezing point of the solution due to the colligative properties of salt. Additionally, the solubility of certain substances may be affected by the increase in salt concentration.
What If a system of linear equations has no solution?
It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!
What will happen if a large quantity of NaCl is added to the aqueous solution?
The solubility of sodium chloride is 360,9 g/L at 20 0C; after this concentration the solution is supersaturated.
Predict what will happen to the hydrogen ion concentration of an acidic solution if you add water to it?
Adding water to an acidic solution will dilute the concentration of hydrogen ions, causing it to decrease. This is because the addition of water will increase the total volume of the solution while keeping the total amount of hydrogen ions constant.

What will happen to a unicellular organisms that lives in salt water is transferred to fresh water?
Like some fish it depends if it can only live in one or the other. Think of it like this. If you take a clown fish out of the ocean and put it in a freshwater fish tank it will survive. So will the unicellular organism.
What would happen to the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution of a strong acid if an equal number of hydroxide ions were added to the solution?
The concentration of hydrogen ions would decrease because when hydroxide ions react with hydrogen ions, they form water. This reaction reduces the overall concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.
How does osmosis happen?
Diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration until there is an equal concentration of fluid on both sides of the membrane
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).
