Water moves into the cell by osmosis.

If it is a plant cell, it will become fully turgid.

If it is an animal cell, the cell will become larger and larger and will eventually burst.

What happens to plant cells when placed in a hypotonic solution?

When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.

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.


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 happens to a cell when it is place in a hypotonic solution?

The cell explodes!


Will a cell placed in hypotonic solution stay the same?

No, a cell placed in a hypotonic solution will not stay the same. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside, causing water to move into the cell. This influx of water can lead to cell swelling and potentially bursting if the pressure becomes too great.

If a cell is placed in what solution the concentration of dissolved substances will be the same in both the cell and the solution in which it is placed?

Hypotonic :) good luck on plato :D


Why does a cell placed in hypotonic solution swell?

A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell because the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. Water will move from the solution into the cell to equalize the concentration, causing the cell to expand and potentially burst.


Is the solution hypotonic in or out of the cell?

The solution is hypotonic when it is outside of the cell.


What happens to cells placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions using diagrams?

In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
