If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net movement of water into the cell and it will eventually burst.

If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there will be a net movement of water out of the cell and it will shrink.

Carrots in salt would it be hyptonic or hypertonic?

Carrots in salt would be hypertonic. This is because the salt concentration outside the carrot cells is higher than inside the cells, causing water to move out of the cells, leading to dehydration and shrinkage of the carrots.


What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?

They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.


What would not be found in one of your liver cells a. mitochondria b.ER c.peroxisomes d. a central vacuole e. ribosomes?

One thing that would not be found in a liver cell is a central vacuole. Vacuoles are typically found in plant cells, not animal cells like liver cells. Liver cells would contain other organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, and ribosomes.


Normal saline is 0.9 percent what would happen to the red blood cells of a patient who was teated with 0 percent saline what about 10 percent saline?

Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.


What would happen to a blood cell placed in a hyper tonic salt solution?

A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic salt solution will lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This process is known as crenation, and it can ultimately lead to the cell's death if the condition is not corrected.

What effect does isotonic solution have on the liver?

Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave a liver, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a liver, an isotonic solution water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)
