What would happen if a cell is placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution?
When a cell is placed in distilled water, water will move into the cell by osmosis causing it to swell and potentially burst. If the swollen cell is then transferred to a 5% salt solution, water will move out of the cell to try to reach equilibrium with the surrounding solution, causing the cell to shrink and possibly undergo crenation.
If a cell contains 97 percent water is placed into a 30 percent sugar solution what will happen to the cell?
The cell will lose water through osmosis as water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the cell) to an area of lower concentration (outside the cell). This process will cause the cell to shrink or shrivel up.
A cell with 1 percent solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 5 percent solute concentration What will happen to this cell over time?
Water will move from the cell into the surrounding solution via osmosis to try to equalize the solute concentrations. This will cause the cell to shrink and possibly become dehydrated.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
What would happen if an cell was placed in a hypertonic solution?
It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.
What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in 50 percent salt solution?
It will shrink.
What will happen to freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water?
Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.

What would happen if freshwater bacterial cells are placed in salt water?
water leaves the cell causeing the cell to shrink.

What are conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell?
If the concentration of water inside the cell is higher, water will leave the cell. This would happen if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.
What would happen to a fresh water cell if placed into salt-water?
die..and its body will float on the surface
What would happen if you placed a normal body cell into fresh water?
it cause it to swell
What will happen to a red blood cell if placed in a bowl of concentrated salt solution?
Water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink and shrivel.
A cell with 1 percent solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 5 percent solute concentration What will happen to this cell over time?
Water will move from the cell into the surrounding solution via osmosis to try to equalize the solute concentrations. This will cause the cell to shrink and possibly become dehydrated.
What will happen to a red blood cell placed in a solution of 99.3 percent water and 0.7 percent salt?
When red onions are placed in a solution with fifteenth percent salt and forty- five percent water, the water leaves the red onion cells through osmosis until the cell membrane will eventually collapse.
