If a red blood cell is placed into a hypotonic solution then the water concentration inside the cell is lower than outside the cell. The salt concentration is higher inside the cell than outside. So, due to the process of osmosis (water will travel from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) and the water will enter the red blood cell, increasing the pressure inside the cells. Red blood cells only have a thin membrane, they therefore can not cope with this high pressure and will eventually burst.
What else can I help you with?
After a salt cube is placed into a beaker of water what will happen?
beakers are not made of water, they are made of glass.
If you place a blood cell in a beaker filled with pure water what would happen?
If a blood cell is placed in a beaker filled with pure water, it will undergo osmosis, leading to the movement of water into the cell. This influx of water causes the cell to swell and can eventually result in the cell bursting, a process known as hemolysis, due to the difference in osmotic pressure between the inside of the cell and the surrounding water.
What would happen if a normal cell were placed in a beaker of pure water?
it would absorb more and more water until it will explode
How does is the temperature of beaker measure in water?
The temperature of a beaker is typically measured using a thermometer that is placed in the water inside the beaker. The thermometer will provide a reading of the water temperature, which indirectly reflects the temperature of the beaker as well.
What might happen to a heated beaker made from glass that does not contain boron if the beaker were placed in a pan of iced water?
Without boron, the glass beaker may not be able to withstand sudden temperature changes and could shatter due to thermal shock when placed in iced water. This is because borosilicate glass, which contains boron, has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and is better suited for rapid temperature changes.
What will happen if you kept the twigs of hydrilla in a beaker filled with water?
Hydrilla is an aquatic plant which means that it naturally grows in water. If one placed hydrilla twigs in a beaker of water, the twigs would begin to sprout roots and would eventually grow leaves if the environment was conducive to growth.
A potato cube is placed in a beaker filled with hot salt water and another potato cube is placed in a beaker filled with cold salt water?
The hot saltwater will cause the potato cube to absorb the water due to osmosis, while the cold saltwater will cause the potato cube to release water. The difference in temperature affects the rate of osmosis – higher temperatures increase the rate, while colder temperatures decrease it.
What happen in the evaporating dish as water in thr beaker is being heated?
After the total evaporation of water a small solid residue can remain in the beaker.
A model cell half full of an aqueous solution of glucose with a membrane that is permeable to glucose is placed into a beaker of distilled water Explain what is likely to happen?
do you go to UTAS? that is not an answer how is this going to help people ????
What will happen to red blood cells when they are placed in a beaker containing a water solution in which the salt concentration is higher than the salt concentration in the red blood cells?
It's one of these answers: a. The red blood cells will absorb water and increase in size. b. The red blood cells will lose water and decrease in size. c. The red blood cells will first absorb water, then lose water and maintain their normal size. d. The red blood cells will first lose water, then absorb water, and finally double in size. A is wrong, just let you know. Still trying to figure out the answer myself.
What will happen if I drop a strip of burning magnesium into a beaker of water?
It will stop burning
Why is tube A placed in a beaker with iced water?
Tube A is placed in a beaker with iced water to cool down the contents of the tube quickly. This is useful for experiments where rapid cooling is needed, such as to stop a reaction or to preserve the sample. The cold temperature of the iced water helps to dissipate heat from the tube effectively.
