What will happen to the leaf's texture if it is placed in a water for a couple of hours?

It depends on how much salt is in the water. If no salt, the leaf will swell. If it is the same amount in the water as in the leaf, then nothing will happen. If more is outside than inside the leaf, it will shrivel.


What happens to a leaf cell if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?

The cell would lose water and the membrane would collapse.


What happens after mixing salt with water?

You get salt water.


When the elodea leaf is moved from salt solution n placed back in water what happens to the cells?

When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).

What happens when solution of salt or sugar is put on mounted Rhoeo leaf?

When a solution of salt or sugar is put on a mounted Rhoeo leaf, the process of osmosis occurs. Water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the leaf) to an area of lower concentration (the solution outside the leaf), causing the leaf cells to shrink or swell depending on the concentration of the solution. This can disrupt the normal functioning of the leaf cells and lead to changes in their appearance.


What happens to salt and water?

it dissolve in the water


What happens to the cells of an elodea leaf when mounted on 10 percent salt solution?

When an elodea leaf is mounted on a 10 percent salt solution, the cells of the leaf will lose water through osmosis. This will cause the cells to shrink and the leaf to become flaccid. The high salt concentration outside the cells will create a hypertonic environment, leading to water moving out of the cells to try to balance the concentration of solutes.


What happens when you add a tablespoon of salt to warm water then stir the water?
