Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
A potato in salt water is hypotonic. This is because the salt water has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the potato cells, causing water to move out of the potato cells, leading to the cell shrinking.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
Is water an isotonic solution or hypo tonic solution?
Distilled water is hypotonic to undistilled water. Undistilled water is hypertonic to distilled water. Undistilled water contains chemicals, if you live in the city, and minerals and nutrients. These would be considered impurities to the pure H2O, or solutes dissolved in the water. Because the undistilled water has substances in it that the distilled water does not, it is hyper-(above)-tonic. The deionized water is hypo-(below)-tonic to the dirty water.
What causes hypertonic and hypotonic?
The concentration of water in and out of a cell.
Does celery stay fresher in hypotonic water or hypertonic water?
Celery stays fresher in hypotonic water because it creates a lower concentration of solutes inside the celery cells compared to the surrounding water, allowing for water to flow into the cells through osmosis and keep the celery crisp. In hypertonic water, the higher concentration of solutes outside the celery cells would cause water to move out of the cells, leading to wilting.
Why does the length of potato strips change in hypertonic and hypotonic solutions?
In a hypertonic solution, potato strips lose water through osmosis, causing them to shrink and become shorter because the surrounding solution has a higher concentration of solutes than the potato cells. Conversely, in a hypotonic solution, water enters the potato cells, leading to swelling and an increase in length as the cells become turgid due to the lower concentration of solutes outside compared to inside the cells. This osmotic movement of water is driven by the concentration gradient of solutes.
What is the example of a hypotonic solution?
Distilled water.
Is ocean water hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic. The concentration of dissolved salts is higher in ocean water than in human cells.
in osmosis What happen in potato A and in potato B?
In osmosis, water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In potato A, if placed in a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration), water will move out of the potato causing it to shrink (plasmolysis). In potato B, if placed in a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration), water will move into the potato causing it to swell (turgor pressure).
Does Water move into or out of a membrane bound hypotonic vesicle?
Water moves into a membrane-bound hypotonic vesicle through the process of osmosis. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the vesicle is lower than inside, causing water to flow into the vesicle to balance the concentration gradient.
What are the 3 types of water concentrations seen in osmosis?
Hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
