What else can I help you with?
A red blood cell would swell if its surrounding solution were?
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 what solutions?
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.
What solution would cause a cell to shiver hypotonic or hypertonic?
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.
Is 0.8 percent saline solution hypotonic to the cytosol cell?
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.
What would happen if you mixed a hypertonic solution and a hypotonic solution?
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. :)
What solution would make a red blood cell swell?
A hypotonic solution would.
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
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.
A red blood cell would swell if its surrounding solution were?
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.
What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time?
The organism would swell and then burst.
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in what solutions?
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.
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.
What solution would cause a cell to shiver hypotonic or hypertonic?
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 that contains a lower concentration of salt than living red blood cells would be?
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.
Is vinegar a hyper tonic solution or a hypo tonic solution?
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.
Is 0.8 percent saline solution hypotonic to the cytosol cell?
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.
What would be the effect of fluid between plasma and red blood cellsof someone using a hypotonic saline?
A hypotonic infusion will cause (all) the cells to swell. If they swell enough, they burst.
