If a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, the red blood cell will swell and eventually burst. The reason for this is because a hypotonic solution has a higher osmotic pressure compared to the cytoplasm of the red blood cell. Thus, the water from the hypotonic solution moves into the red blood cell causing it to rupture.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Why does a plant like celery get limp when placed in hypertonic solution?
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
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.
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
Water moves out of a cell if it is placed in this kind of solution?
hypertonic solution!
Crenation occurs when blood is placed in a?
hypertonic solution
If a cell is placed in a solution water flows from the cycloplasm of the cell to the solution?
Hypertonic
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 direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
Why does a plant like celery get limp when placed in hypertonic solution?
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
Cells lose water when placed in which of the following solutions?
A hypertonic solution.
What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water will tend to lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This can lead to dehydration and potential cell damage.
What happens to the pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
