If a cell is placed inside a solution that has a higher concentration of solute than on the inside of the cell what can be said about the movement of water?
If you are asking if the cell is highly concentrated with water, will the water move OUT of the cell, the answer is yes.
Through a process called diffusion, molecules will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to reach equilibrium, a word that means that the concentration or particles and molecules is equal throughout the system.

What is isotonic hypertonic hypotonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution .
What is the process that would most likely be responsible for the movement of glucose from inside the artificial cell to the solution outside of the cell?
Diffusion would most likely be responsible for the movement of glucose from inside the artificial cell to the solution outside of the cell. Glucose molecules will move from an area of higher concentration (inside the cell) to an area of lower concentration (outside the cell) to reach equilibrium.
How does osmosis explain the movement of water across cell membranes?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a solution of high concentration to a solution of lower concentration through a membrane. Water passes through the membrane, diluting the solution of higher concentration on the other side, until both solutions on either side of the membrane have equal concentrations.
Which ions electrical charges oppose the direction of movement that is caused by their concentration gradient?
Any ion that is positive but has a higher concentration inside the cell or is negative and has a higher concentration outside the cell. Any ion that is positive but has a higher concentration inside the cell or is negative and has a higher concentration outside the cell.
How is a hypertonic solution different from a hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.
What is isotonic hypertonic hypotonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution .
What are the types of solution of osmosis?
The types of solutions in osmosis are hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solute is higher outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solute is higher inside the cell compared to outside, causing water to move into the cell. In an isotonic solution, the concentrations of solute inside and outside the cell are equal, so there is no net movement of water.
What is the process that would most likely be responsible for the movement of glucose from inside the artificial cell to the solution outside of the cell?
Diffusion would most likely be responsible for the movement of glucose from inside the artificial cell to the solution outside of the cell. Glucose molecules will move from an area of higher concentration (inside the cell) to an area of lower concentration (outside the cell) to reach equilibrium.
Why cell?
If placed in a hypertonic solution, cells will shrink because the solute concentration outside the cell will be higher than inside the cell. This causes the movement of water out of the cell (in order to equalise the concentration).
Which percentage would explain the net movement of water into a cell through the process of osmosis?
The percentage of the net movement of water into a cell through the process of osmosis is that the outside would be higher than the water on the inside of the cell. For example, there would be 95 percent of water on the outside, which is a higher concentration, and the inside would be 90 percent.
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in what solution?
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in a hypertonic solution. In this solution, there is a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.

Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.
A solution in which the salt concentration inside the cell is higher than outside the cell is known as?
hypertonic :D
A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called?
A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called hypertonic. This means that the solute concentration in the solution is higher compared to the solute concentration inside the cell. Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will lose water and shrink due to osmosis.
A solution that has a greater concentration of solutes than that within the cell?
Hypertonic solution. This solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the solute concentration inside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell through osmosis, leading to cell shrinkage or dehydration.
