In a hypotonic solution like distilled water the onion cell would "swell up" and the cytoplasm expands and water diffuses into the cell

What will happen if onion peel is kept in strong sugar solution?

What will happen if you put onion skin cell into 10 percent sugar solution?
Osmosis takes place. The onion cell will turn flaccid due to the water loss.
What happen to onion cell epidermis if placed in hypertonic solution?
Isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration as present in cell. So no osmosis will occur. Hence there will be a neutral effect.
What happens to purple onion skin cells when tap water is added?
The water turns purple and the skin turns white.
How did the solution affect the image of the onion cell?
Iodine dyes cells a purple color. This enables things to be seen easier under a microscope.

What would happen if you added three drops of iodine to an onion?
I did this experiment and after a while the onion cell became incredibly easier to see.
What will happen if you put onion skin cell into 10 percent sugar solution?
Osmosis takes place. The onion cell will turn flaccid due to the water loss.
What would happen to an onion cell in distilled water?
When salt is added to onion cell, the cytoplasm shrink due to plasmolysis. When water is added to onion cell, the cytoplasm expands back to its initial shape due to deplasmolysis.
What happen to onion cell epidermis if placed in hypertonic solution?
Isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration as present in cell. So no osmosis will occur. Hence there will be a neutral effect.
What would happen if an onion is placed in water?
Nothing. The onion will get wet.
What would most likely happen to a onion cell of it were placed in a liquid with a concentration of solutes?
In a hypotonic environment, an onion cell will fill up with water. Hypotonic refers to a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than the solution you're comparing it to.
What does an onion cell look like after adding a salt solution NaCl?
This depends on the nature of the NaCl solution...If it is a Hyper-tonic solution (More concentrated solution than onion cells), water will move by osmosis down it's concentration gradient, from a region of less negative water potential (high Ψ) in the onion cell, to a region of more negative water potential (low Ψ) in the solution through a selectively/partially permeable membrane;so the onion cell will be plasmolysed and will look "flaccid" (vacuole gets smaller and shrinks).The vice versa happens with a Hypo-tonic (less concentrated solution than onion cell) NaCl solution;The onion cell will then look "turgid" (has a large vacuole exerting a pressure on the cytoplasm and pushing it towards the cell's cellwall to make it "tensed".
What would most likely happen to an onion cell if it were placed in a liquid with a high concentration of solutes?
As the "salt solution" is a hypertonic solution which has the concentration of the solute outside of the cell is higher than the inside's. That also means the concentration of the water is now smaller in the outside of the cell than the inside's, which make the water molecules diffuse from the inside of the cell to the outside, resulted in making the cell (onion cell in this case) shrunken, or smaller.
Why half of the onion epidermal cell is in darkness under the microscope?
becuse of the lodine solution
