Is eventually the cells will dry out and die same as the cells swelling or the cells shrinking?
No. If a cell shrivels up and dies it is because it is lacking enough water to sustain life. Usually what happens in this case is the cytoplasm and cell organelles will dry up but you have to be extremely dehydrated for this to occur.
Cell Swelling is more correctly known as hypotonic. This means that there is more water ( concentration) in the environment than in the cell. As a result, water will come rushing into the cell and bloat it. Your cell should eventually return back to normal when water concentration is balanced between the environment and the cell. However, there is always a possibility that if the cell bloats up too much it can explode.
Cell shrinking is more correctly known as hypertonic. This means that there is a higher water concentration in the cell than found in the outside environment , like the body. As a result water rushing out of the cell and into the environment ( body). An example of when this might occur happens when you drink salt water. Because salt water has a lower concentration of water it will draw water out of your body's cells if you ingest it. Too much salt water could kill you.
A perfect balance of water inside and outside of a cell in called isotonic.
What else can I help you with?
What will happened to cells when it is exposed in isotonic solution?
In an isotonic solution, cells will maintain the same shape and size because the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is equal, leading to no net movement of water. This prevents the cell from either shrinking or swelling due to water moving in or out.
What will happen to the cells of a patient who is provided with an intravenous solution that is isosmotic to intracellular fluids?
If the intravenous solution is isosmotic to intracellular fluids, there will be no net movement of water into or out of the cells since the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cells will be equal. The cells will remain in isotonic conditions, maintaining their normal shape and function without swelling or shrinking.
What early concept of cells was eventually disproved as a result of the research that led to the development of cell theory?
The idea was they believed that protoplasm was the same in all cells.
What will most likely occur if a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water into or out of the cell, as the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cell. This equilibrium maintains the cell's shape and functionality, preventing it from swelling or shrinking. The cell will remain stable, with its internal environment balanced relative to the external solution.
Are all cells within the same plant the same?
No not all cells within the plant are the same. The reason is because not all cells in a leaf are the same
What is the effect of isotonic salt solution on rbc?
Iso means same, therefore the salt solution concentration is the same as the concentration of salt within the blood cells. So nothing happens - the RBC's remain the same (no shrinking/crenating or swelling/lysing)
What is the shrinking of plant cells when water leaves the cell membrane?
It is called plasmolysis. The cytoplasm and vacuole shrink but cell wall remains the same.

What can happen to animal cells when placed in a isotonic solution?
When animal cells are placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water in or out of the cells. This means that the cells maintain their normal size and shape, as the amount of water entering the cell is balanced by the amount leaving the cell. This prevents the cells from either swelling and bursting (lysis) or shrinking (crenation).
The cells interior is concidered isotonic to the surrounding fluid when?
The cell's interior is considered isotonic to the surrounding fluid when there is an equal concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane. This balance prevents the cell from either shrinking or swelling due to osmosis.

The idea was they believed that protoplasm was the same in all cells.
Why is the Caspian Sea shrinking?
It is shrinking because the area has not had much precipitation lately and it is not getting enough water to stay at the same water level
Is the Caspian Sea shrinking?
It is shrinking because the area has not had much precipitation lately and it is not getting enough water to stay at the same water level
What happens to a cell if too much water moves into the cell?
eventually the cells will dry out and die
Are vacuoles in distilled water elodea leaf cells hypotonic isotonic?
If the vacuoles in Elodea leaf cells are placed in distilled water, they become hypotonic. Distilled water has a lower solute concentration compared to the vacuoles of the cells, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, leading to swelling and eventual bursting of the cells.
Are body fluids isotonic to cells?
Most are. A notable exception is urine. The kidneys are able to concentrate the salts and nitrogenous wastes in the urine so as to conserve water. A dehydrated person will produce very concentrated, hypertonic urine.
