Raisin imbibes water and swells up. Imbibition is actually absorption of water as raisins are dry, they take up water from hypotonic solution .

∙ 11y agoif we place the raisins in an isotonic solution , there will be surely no change in the size as the cell wall is not a permeable membrane.

Dried raisins absorb easily water and swell.

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 solution would cause a cell to shiver hypotonic or hypertonic?
hypotonic
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in what solutions?
hypotonic solution
What would happen to red onion cell if sucrose solution added?
In a hypotonic solution like distilled water the onion cell would "swell up" and the cytoplasm expands and water diffuses into the cell
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.
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.
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 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 solution would cause a cell to shiver hypotonic or hypertonic?
hypotonic
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in what solutions?
hypotonic solution
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.
What would happen to your cell if a hypotonic solution is place directly into your blood stream?
Swell and possibly burst depending on how hypotonic the solution was and how much of it was injected. However the human body has evolved many simple and complex ways to deal with these situations and therefore a small amount of hypotonic solution will likely cause no effect to your cells.
What is a relatively low solute concentration called?
The solution would be a hypotonic solution.
What would happen to red onion cell if sucrose solution added?
In a hypotonic solution like distilled water the onion cell would "swell up" and the cytoplasm expands and water diffuses into the cell
