What would happen if you placed an artificial cell with 5M glucose in a beaker with pure water?

A solution which has a high concentration of a solute (example - glucose) will have a low water concentration. But when you look at pure water it has a high water concentration. So if a cell contains a high concentration of glucose and was placed in a pure water solution, water would simply move down its concentration gradient (going from high to low) which eventually causes the cell to swell.
I hope this helped :D

What happens if a cell is placed in a beaker containing isotonic solution?
well it would be that their is an equal amount of solution inside and outside the cell. it is neither hypotonic or hypertonic. it is balanced or equal.

What is the difference between organ transplant and artificial organs?
An organ transplant is when organs are taken out of human organ donors and placed into another human, but artificial organs are either grown in science labs from stem cells or electronic organs that are usually made of plastic or metal.
What would happen if I placed a Vial of phenolphthalein into a jar with ammonia?
Nothing will happen... but when you put a drop of the vial in the phenolphthalein, the phenolphthalein will turn into pink... It was just an observation that I saw in our experiment this afternoon

What would happen if a normal cell were placed in a beaker of pure water?
it would absorb more and more water until it will explode
What would happen to a plant cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?

What will happen when a drop of ink is placed gently at the base of a beaker containing water with the help of a dropper?
the ink will mix with the entire water.Even though it is dense than water,it will mix with it
What will happen if you kept the twigs of hydrilla in a beaker filled with water?
Hydrilla is an aquatic plant which means that it naturally grows in water. If one placed hydrilla twigs in a beaker of water, the twigs would begin to sprout roots and would eventually grow leaves if the environment was conducive to growth.
