What happens when solution of salt or sugar is put on mounted Rhoeo leaf?
When a solution of salt or sugar is put on a mounted Rhoeo leaf, the process of osmosis occurs. Water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the leaf) to an area of lower concentration (the solution outside the leaf), causing the leaf cells to shrink or swell depending on the concentration of the solution. This can disrupt the normal functioning of the leaf cells and lead to changes in their appearance.
What would happen to a leaf if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?
The cells of lettuce leaf will be plasmolyzed due to exo osmosis.
Why a salted lettuce leaf looks wilted?
Because the salt quickly causes dehydration.
Why lettuce leaf in contact with plain water is crispy while a lettuce leaf in contact within salad dressing containing salt and vinegar becomes wilted and limp?
it is to do with the water potential
What happens to a leaf cell if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?
The cell would lose water and the membrane would collapse.
Can you Clean lettuce with 5 percent salt solution?
Yes, but it is without any importance.
What happens when you mix water wth salt?
You get a salt solution.
When the elodea leaf is moved from salt solution n placed back in water what happens to the cells?
When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).
What happens to lettuce when soaked in salt water?
Soaking lettuce in salt water can help remove dirt, bugs, and pesticides. The salt water will draw out impurities from the lettuce leaves, leaving them cleaner and potentially crisper. However, be cautious of oversoaking as it can lead to wilting.
What physically happens in a supersaturated solution of salt in water?
Salt will crystalize out.
Why is home grown leaf lettuce soaked first in salt water and then rinsed and then soaked in tap water?
to get rid of bugs
What was the effect of the salt solution to the cells of the rhoeo discolor leaf?
The salt solution likely caused the cells of the Rhoeo discolor leaf to undergo plasmolysis, where water leaves the cells due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This can lead to the cells shrinking and the leaf wilting or shrinking in size.
