Solution that causes a cell to swell?
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
Why is the tonicity of a solution important?
TONICITY describes the degree to which a solution can exert an osmotic pressure on a membrane. Particles which can freely cross a membrane do NOT affect tonicity. This is because they will freely move in order to achieve equilibrium. Therefore, tonicity is dictated by the particles than can't cross the membrane (such as proteins, which are usually too large to cross, or highly charged particles). Non-permeable particles will therefore force water to cross the membrane towards them in order to achieve equilibrium - they can therefore be said to exert an osmotic pressure on the membrane.Solutions can be HYPERTONIC (i.e. the surrounding solution contains a larger concentration of these non-permeable particles than inside the cell, causing water to LEAVE the cell) or HYPOTONIC (i.e. the opposite, where water moves INTO the cell). They can also be ISOTONIC (there is equilibrium of the non-permeable particles, so no water moves).There is a very important distinction between tonicity and OSMOLARITY: osmolarity ALSO takes into account the particles that CAN cross the membrane (the permeable ones). So a solution could be both HYPEROSMOLAR and ISOTONIC at the same time - one set of particles will be able to freely cross the membrane, so there will no net change in cell volume.
How does osmosis maintain body cells at a specific concentration?
Osmosis helps maintain the specific concentration of body cells by allowing water to move in and out of the cells to achieve equilibrium. When a cell is in a high concentration solution, water will move into the cell to dilute the solution. Conversely, when a cell is in a low concentration solution, water will move out of the cell to try to equalize concentrations. This process helps keep cell concentrations within a narrow range for proper function.
A solution is what?
A solution is a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation. It is a way to resolve an issue or achieve a desired outcome.
The pressure needed to stop osmosis is called?
The osmotic pressure. This is the pressure which would have to be applied to a solution to stop water entering if it was separated from pure water by a semipermeable membrane.

After the fall of the economy in 1929, what did classical economists believe to be the solution to the Great Depression?
wait for the economy to achieve equilibrium
What is hypertonic?
Isotonic solution: A solution that has the same solute concentration as the cells and blood. Isotonic solutions are commonly used as intravenously infused fluids in hospitalized patients.when a cell is in a isotonic environment , it means the the amount (concentration) of the solutes in the solution and the amount (concentrarion) of solutes in the cell itself is Equal.So both the solution and Cell have EQUAL amount or Equal concentration of SOLUTES (like salt, sugar, Na+ etc) .ExampleIf the cell has 50% salt or any solutesand you place the cell in a solution that has 50% salt or any solutesthen you can say that the cell is in Isotonic Environment. There will be no change in cell's shape.But if cell has 30% salt and you place the cell in a solution that has 70% saltthen the cell is in Hypertonic solution. Then the water will move out of cell into solution to achieve equilibrium through osmosis. the cell will shrink.And If the cell has 80% salt and you place the cell in a solution that has 20% salt then the cell is in Hypotonic solution. Then water will move out of solution and come into cell through osmosis to achieve equilbrium and the cell will swell( cell will be come bigger) .
What solution is form by dissolving ammonia gas in methylbenzene?
When ammonia gas is dissolved in methylbenzene, a solution of ammonium methylbenzenesulfonate is formed. This compound is a salt resulting from the reaction between ammonia and methylbenzene under certain conditions.
What solution would make cell swell and become bigger?
Hypotonic solution, where the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside, would cause the cell to swell and become larger as water flows into the cell to try to achieve equilibrium.
Is it important for the concentration of the reactant solutions to be equal?
Yes. The volume you have of a particular solution does not have anything to do with the concentration of that solution.
What does an osmometer measure?
An osmometer measures the concentration of solute particles in a solution. It does this by determining the osmotic pressure, which is the pressure generated by the movement of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane to achieve equilibrium.
What is the biology term of isotonic?
If you're asking about what the term isotonic means...there are three basic types of solutions- Hypertonic, Hypotonic and Isotonic Hypertonic Solutions are solutions that contain more solute than the other solution in question. Hypotonic solutions are less concentrated with solute than the other solution (When i refer to the "other solution" usually when you talk about isotonic solutions etc, you are talking about it in reference to another solution) Isotonic solutions are solutions that contain an EQUAL amount of solute with the other solution and the solute diffuses equally from one solution to the other... SOrry if anything is innaccurate, but a proper definition (other than mine) shouldn't be hard to get once you understand this...
Objectives of macroeconomics from conventional perspective?

What are the different type of equilivery?
There are three main types of equilibriums in economics: static equilibrium, dynamic equilibrium, and general equilibrium. Static equilibrium refers to a state where there is no tendency for change at a particular point in time. Dynamic equilibrium involves continuous adjustments to maintain stability over time. General equilibrium considers the interrelationships between markets in an entire economy to achieve overall equilibrium.
