Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?

No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.


What makes cytoplasm in a plant cell shrink?

Which type of solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink?

A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water leaving the cell by osmosis, causing it to shrink.

In what direction dose a plant cell enlarge?

A plant cell typically enlarges in all directions due to the presence of a cell wall that allows for expansion. This process of cell enlargement is regulated by the uptake of water into the vacuole, which exerts pressure on the cell wall, causing it to stretch and expand.


Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink or swell?

Cytoplasm in a plant cell will shrink if the cell is?

Undergoing dehydration or plasmolysis due to loss of water. This can occur when the cell is placed in a hypertonic environment where water is drawn out of the cell, causing the cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall.


Why don't plant cells shrink up like animal cells in a salt solution?

Plant cells have rigid cell walls made of cellulose that provide structural support and prevent the cell from shrinking in a hypertonic solution (like a salt solution). The cell wall maintains the cell's shape and prevents excessive water loss by osmosis. Animal cells do not have cell walls and will shrink in a hypertonic solution due to water loss.
