What else can I help you with?
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.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
To keep from bursting and dying what must a Paramecium do in a hypotonic environment?
A Paramecium has a plasma membrane that is much less permeable to water than other membranes of most cells. The Paramecium cell is also equipped with a contractile vacuole, an organelle that functions to force water out of the cell as fast as it enters by osmosis. -AP Biology Student
Does Water move into or out of a membrane bound hypotonic vesicle?
Water moves into a membrane-bound hypotonic vesicle through the process of osmosis. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the vesicle is lower than inside, causing water to flow into the vesicle to balance the concentration gradient.
How are hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution the same?
Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions both refer to the concentration of solutes compared to a cell. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell.
To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.

How Parameciun could survive in freshwater which is hypotonic?
paramecium has an organelle called the contractile vacuole,since it is hypertonic water rushes in from its habitat but this vacuole excretes the water constantly so that the cell do not burst.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
What causes hypertonic and hypotonic?
The concentration of water in and out of a cell.
Is ocean water hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic. The concentration of dissolved salts is higher in ocean water than in human cells.

Does Water move into or out of a membrane bound hypotonic vesicle?
Water moves into a membrane-bound hypotonic vesicle through the process of osmosis. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the vesicle is lower than inside, causing water to flow into the vesicle to balance the concentration gradient.
What are the 3 types of water concentrations seen in osmosis?
Hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
Which solution has more solute-hypo or hypertonic?
A hypertonic solution has more solute compared to a hypotonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher, causing water to move out of the cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower, which leads to water moving into the cells.
Is water hypertonic or hypotonic in biological systems?
In biological systems, water is typically hypotonic, meaning it has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of cells.
