What role did diffusion play in the changes you observed?

Before diffusion there is a higher concentration of oxygen molecules outside the cell than inside the cell. After diffusion the concentration of oxygen molecules is the same outside and inside the cell.


What is the solution that contains more water than what is located in the cells?

A hypertonic Solution. a solution that has a greater concentration of water than the cell content is hypotonic, meaning there is less concentration of water inside the cell, which results in an increase or an expansion of the cell.


Sub atomic parts inside and outside the nudeus of your atom?

I am assuming your question is: "what are the sub atomic molecules inside and outside the nucleus of an atom?" Here is the answer: There are three subatomic particles, Protons Neutrons and Electrons. Protons are located inside the nucleus of an atom, along with Neutrons. Electrons are located outside the nucleus, inside things called energy levels, but i won't go into to much detail. Hope that answers your question


When a solution is hypertonic?

Let us put hypotonic into the mix. Hyper is more, hypo is less so that puts -tonic right in the middle, as a reference point. That reference point is also called equilibrium. When a solution contains more solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypertonic, and when a solution has dissolved in it less than the amount of solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypotonic.


What are the effects of osmolality of solution on animal cells?

the media in which the cells are grown should have almost the same osmolality as inside the cell so as the omolalitical active particles are balanced in and outside the cell. if either is more the due to osmosis the omolalitical active particles will move in or outside cell and thereby causing damage to the cell either shrinking the cell or expandiong it.

Will iodine molecules diffuse during osmosis?

Yes, Iodine molecules will diffuse from an area of high concentration (hypertonic solution) to an area of low concentration (hypotonic solution). This process continues until the solutions are isotonic i.e. both solutions have the same concentration of molecules on the inside and outside of the cell.


What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?

hypertonic solution


What is function of hypo tonic solution?

This are the types of molecules wherein the movement of water is from outside going to inside that makes the cell bursts or swell.


When can 2 solutions not be isotonic?

2 solutions cannot be isotonic when the cell membrane is non-permeable to the solute inside the cell. The solution outside the cell has to be fresh water 0% solute and 100% water


What effect does isotonic solution have on an egg?

Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave an egg, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a egg, an isotonic solution (where inside the egg and outside the egg the solute concentration is equal) water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)


What process keeps the amounts of molecules inside and outside the in balance?

Diffusion keeps the amounts of molecules inside and outside the cell in balance, or in a state of homeostasis.
