What happens to an elodea leaf when added a phenol red solution?

When an Elodea leaf is added to a phenol red solution, the leaf will release oxygen through photosynthesis. The oxygen will cause the phenol red solution to change color, indicating the presence of oxygen production.


What happens to elodea cells mounted in salt solution?

Oh, dude, when you stick elodea cells in a salt solution, they're like, "Whoa, this is salty!" The salt solution messes with their osmotic balance, so water leaves the cells, making them shrink and look all sad. It's like when you eat too many chips and your fingers swell up – not a good time for anyone involved.


What is the scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells placed in a hypotonic solution?

The scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells when placed in a hypotonic solution is turgid. This occurs when water moves into the cell causing it to swell and become firm.


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 is the hypothesis of osmosis lab elodea leaf?

The hypothesis of an osmosis lab with an Elodea leaf could be that the Elodea leaf will lose water and shrink when placed in a hypertonic solution due to water moving out of the leaf cells by osmosis, causing the cells to become flaccid. Conversely, if the Elodea leaf is placed in a hypotonic solution, it may gain water, swell, and become turgid as water moves into the leaf cells via osmosis.


What would cause the blue btb solution containing elodea to turn green?

The blue BTB solution turning green in the presence of elodea indicates that photosynthesis is taking place. During photosynthesis, elodea utilizes carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen, leading to a change in the color of the indicator solution from blue to green.


Do Elodea cells have starch?

if starch is present in a substance, the solution IKI when combined will turn the substance a blue-black color. When the plant Elodea was combined with IKI the elodea did not turn a blue-black color. Hence elodea does not contain starch.


Would you see the same effect in elodea cells if you used a glucose solution instead of a water solution?

you would not see the same effect because there is sugar in one and not in the other


Is Elodea aquatic or terrestrial?

Elodea is an aquatic plant.

Carbon dioxide is passed into a solution of bromthymol blue indicator until the acid solution turns yellow A sprig of elodea is placed into yellow solution and it turns blue purpose of experiment is?

The purpose of the experiment is to demonstrate the process of photosynthesis. When the elodea plant is added to the yellow solution (indicating acidity), it will consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis. This will cause a color change in the solution from yellow to blue as the pH increases due to the removal of carbon dioxide.
