Raisin imbibes water and swells up. Imbibition is actually absorption of water as raisins are dry, they take up water from hypotonic solution .
Hypotonic. If the solution had a lesser salt concentration, the cell would suck in more water to even out the salt levels inside vs outside the cell in the solution... it would suck in water, which would cause it to swell up.
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in hypotonic solutions, where the external solution has a lower solute concentration than the cytoplasm of the cell. Water would move into the cell to equalize the solute concentration, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst.
A hypotonic solution would cause a cell to shiver because water will move into the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure. On the other hand, a hypertonic solution would cause the cell to shrink or shrivel because water will move out of the cell, causing it to lose water and decrease in size.
Yes, a 0.8% saline solution is hypotonic to the cytosol of a cell. This means that the concentration of solutes in the saline solution is lower than the concentration of solutes in the cytosol of the cell. As a result, water would move into the cell, potentially causing it to swell or burst.
If place in a hypertonic solution it would swell and/or burst because to much water is getting in the cell from the hypertonic solution ( osmosis ). If placed in a hypotonic solution it will end up shrinking from the water leaving the cell to the hypotonic solution ( again osmosis ). Osmosis is when water moves to a lower pressure of water so if there's more water pressure in the cell it will move out into the less dense solution. :)
A hypotonic solution would.
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.

The organism would swell and then burst.
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in hypotonic solutions, where the external solution has a lower solute concentration than the cytoplasm of the cell. Water would move into the cell to equalize the solute concentration, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst.
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.
A hypotonic solution would cause a cell to shiver because water will move into the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure. On the other hand, a hypertonic solution would cause the cell to shrink or shrivel because water will move out of the cell, causing it to lose water and decrease in size.
A solution containing a lower concentration of salt than living red blood cells would be a hypotonic solution. This means that the solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the red blood cells, causing them to swell and potentially burst due to the influx of water.
vinegar is a hypotonic solution if you would like an example take an egg and put it in to a glass of vinegar and the egg will swell.
Yes, a 0.8% saline solution is hypotonic to the cytosol of a cell. This means that the concentration of solutes in the saline solution is lower than the concentration of solutes in the cytosol of the cell. As a result, water would move into the cell, potentially causing it to swell or burst.
A hypotonic infusion will cause (all) the cells to swell. If they swell enough, they burst.
