Is salt water dilute or concentrated?
The word 'dilute' is an inexact term. Hypotonic (less solute) and hypertonic (more solute) and isotonic (the same amount) are relative terms. What they mean is that a solution will either have less, more, or the same concentration of a given solute than the reference substance. It is important in cells because a hypertonic solution (such as salt water) will try to pull free water out of the cell, where the concentration of salt is less. A hypotonic solution will cause water to soak into the cells. Either situation may be undesirable. For osmosis, water will flow across a semipermeable membrane in the direction of the pressure gradient. It will always flow from the hypotonic solution into the hypertonic solution. Plants absorb water by creating a hypertonic state inside the root.
Why onion cells 5 percent salt solution hypertonic?
A cell is hypertonic when it has a greater concentration than its environment, but, when a solution is hypertonic, it has a greater concentration than the cell it is being compared to. For example, a 5% salt solution is hypertonic to an onion cell while the onion cell is hypotonic to the solution.The salt concentration of an onion cell must be less than 5% - actually its somewhere between 1.6 and 1.3 percent.This question should not be in genetics, but I don't feel like switching it.
Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard If left in a salt solution they become limp and soft From thsi you can deduce that thecells of the celery stalk?
The cells of the celery stalk are hypertonic to fresh water, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, making them stiff. When placed in a salt solution, the cells become hypotonic, causing water to move out of the cells, resulting in a limp texture.
Which way will water flow if the external solution is hypertonic?
Water ALWAYS moves by osmosis from a low salt concentration towards a higher concentration of salt. If the solution is hypertonic, it has a lot of salt (or other solutes). Meaning the water on the other side of the membrane must be hypotonic compared to the water on the outside of the membrane if it is to move out. In your case, the water MUST move out and the cell will shrink (wilt).
Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
A potato in salt water is hypotonic. This is because the salt water has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the potato cells, causing water to move out of the potato cells, leading to the cell shrinking.
Which has more salt in it a hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?
A hypertonic solution has more salt compared to an isotonic or hypotonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes, such as salt, is higher than inside the cells, causing water to move out of the cells.
Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotpnic to red blood cells?
10 percent NaCl is hypertonic to red blood cells. This means that the concentration of solutes outside the red blood cell is higher than inside, causing water to move out of the cell, potentially leading to the cell shrinking or shrinking.
How salt effects water?
Since salt water is hypertonic to the plant cell, the water would move into the hypertonic solution (extracellular) and out of the hypotonic plant cell. The cells would lose water and it would die.
Does Water always moves from a hypertonic solution into a hypotonic one?
Yes, water will always move from a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration) to a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration) in an attempt to equalize the solute concentration on both sides of the membrane. This process is known as osmosis.
What are some examples for hypotonic solution and its components?
Hypotonic actually stems from the early British invention of Tonic Water. Hypo, meaning "low," describes a Tonic Water that would have been stored on the bottom shelf. These were typically known to be of a lesser quality than the top shelf tonics, or "hyper" tonics. Therefore, hypotonic simply describes a lower quality solution, versus hypertonic, which describes a higher quality solution.

What is the similarities between hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution?
The only similarities are that these deal with solutions. If the cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the amount of salt (or sugar) will be lower, and water will move into the cell, and it will swell. Water will move from a lower concentration of water to a higher to reach a balance. The opposite will be true for hypertonic solutions, the cell will lose water. They appear crenate or serrated.
What is mean by celery salt?
Saltwater (a hypertonic solution) with the celery cells (a hypotonic solution) causes a concentration gradient where the water from the celery will escape into the hypertonic solution, shrinking the celery in a process known as plasmolysis.
Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard If left in a salt solution they become limp and soft From thsi you can deduce that thecells of the celery stalk?
The cells of the celery stalk are hypertonic to fresh water, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, making them stiff. When placed in a salt solution, the cells become hypotonic, causing water to move out of the cells, resulting in a limp texture.
How hypotonic hypertonic and turgor pressure are interrelated?
They all have to do with the salt to water ratio of a cell.
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.
