What else can I help you with?
Why will the blood cell shrivel and possibly die inside a hypertonic salt solution?
There was more salt/solute outside of the cell, and the solute "sucks" away the water from the cell;making it shrink and possibly collapse in itself.
What will the water do if you immerse a living cell into hypertonic solution?
When dealing with cells and their surrounding environment, if the outside of the cell is hypertonic (more salty), water will move out of the cell. This is an effort for the concentration of the salt to even out. The cell will shrink as a result.
What hypertonic means to illustrate equilibrium?
Hypertonic is when you have a high concentration of solute relative to the solvent. For example, salt water is a hypertonic solution with vast amounts of sodium, chlorine, potassium, and iodine dissolved in water.
What are three sentences for the word shrink?
Products come in shrink-wrap packaging.I had to shrink my jeans. Many older adults shrink by one to three inches as they lose height.
What are Three types of osmosis?
Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic.
What solution cause cell to shrink?
hypertonic :)
What does hypertonic do to the cells?
make the cell shrink
Which type of solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water leaving the cell by osmosis, causing it to shrink.
What will happen when you put an animal cell in a in hypertonic solution?
it will shrink
What conditions make a cell shrink?
Cells can shrink due to dehydration, loss of nutrients, or exposure to hypertonic solutions (higher solute concentration outside the cell). This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to a decrease in cell volume.
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink or swell?
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
What happens to cells in saltwater?
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
Is a hypertonic solution is one with low solute concentration?
No, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrink or crenate.
What is the term used to describe a type of solution in which cells will lose water to their environment?
Cells immersed in hypertonic solutions lose water and shrink, or crenate.
What kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
What makes cytoplasm in a plant cell shrink?
If you place the cell in a hypertonic solution (a solution with a higher concentration of salt than the cell) the cell membrane would shrink.
Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
