A hypertonic environment for a cell is created when the solution outside of the cell is hypertonic in comparison to the cytoplasm of the cell. The amoeba has more dissolved solute than the cytoplasm of the cell. In this situation, water is in higher concentration inside the cell and will move, by osmosis, to the outside in an attempt to equalize the concentrations. Water leaving the cell will cause shrinkage of the cell and a loss of mass. Thus, it shrinks not bursts.

What happens to an amoeba when it is placed in hypertonic solution?
amoeba when placed under hypotonic solution it will not due to the presence of contractile vacoule.
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
Water enters a cell when the solution surrounding the cell is?
Hypotonic- i think. Hypertonic is when it shrinks and Lyses is when the cell burts from swelling too much. We did it with blood cells in my Anatomy and Physiology class.
What happens to the cell wall in a hypertonic isotonic and hyotonic solution?
Hypertonic- Shrinks and shrivels up Hypotonic- Cell swells and bursts
A red blood cell will undergo hemolysis in?
When it is in a hypotonic solution such as distilled water.
What happens to an amoeba when it is placed in hypertonic solution?
amoeba when placed under hypotonic solution it will not due to the presence of contractile vacoule.
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
When plant is place in hypotonic solution?
the plant cell shrinks and this is because concentration is high in the solution and less in plant cell

What is an example of Crenation?
Crenation is an example of osmosis. In this process, the cell distorts and shrinks after being placed in a hypotonic solution.
What will happen if an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm?
I believe the solution would be considered hypotonic. in which case the amoeba would let water (H2O) out of its body to regulate the solute concentration (to make it equal)
What is a solution that contains relatively little dissolved solute?
Hypotonic solution.The root "hypo" means "less", so since the solution has less solutes it takes the name hypotonic.
What happens to the cell wall in a hypertonic isotonic and hyotonic solution?
Hypertonic- Shrinks and shrivels up Hypotonic- Cell swells and bursts
What is hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution is a type of solution of higher concentration in relation to the solution with which it is been compared
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
What is a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution is a solution with a lower salt concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood.
