This is a phenomenon which can occur when a metal is in contact with an environment that contains different concentrations of electrochemically active constituents at different points on the surface of the metal and thereby maintains differences of electrical potential on different parts of the surface of the metal.

What is more concentrated solution the plant cell sap or the water in the cell?
The plant cell sap is more concentrated than the water in the cell because it contains a variety of solutes such as sugars, ions, and proteins dissolved in the water. This higher solute concentration in the cell sap creates a hypertonic environment compared to the surrounding water inside the cell.
What happens to a cell if you place it in a distilled and concentrated salt solution?
If you place a cell in a distilled water solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis causing it to swell and possibly burst. In a concentrated salt solution, water will move out of the cell causing it to shrink and potentially die due to dehydration.
Why does a plant cell lose water by osmosis when put in a concentrated solution?
Not just plant cells, all cells with semi-permeable membranes loose water when placed in a more highly concentrated solution.
What is the differences in the appearance of the cells in concentrated salt solution compared with the cells in distilled water?
In a concentrated salt solution, cells typically undergo plasmolysis, where water exits the cell, causing the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall and resulting in a shriveled appearance. In contrast, cells in distilled water swell due to osmosis, as water enters the cells, making them turgid and plump. Therefore, cells in a concentrated salt solution appear shrunken and wrinkled, while those in distilled water appear swollen and firm.
Why will water diffuse into a bacterial cell placed in fresh water?
Its through a process call osmosis 'the passage of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more concentrated solution until both solutions are of the same concentration'. This means that if the water is pure it will move into the cell. however if you use sugar water with a higher concentration than inside the cell water will move out. you can get the bacteria to shrink
If an animal cell is put into a concentrated sugar solution what will happen?
The cell will dehydrate.
What happens to plant cell in medium concentrated water?
if the plant cell is in concentrated water...it shrinks .i.e the water in plant cell flows out and hence the plant cell loses its turgidity and shrinks.this process is called exosmosis .
What is it called when Water passes through the cell membrane from a high concentrated area to a less concentrated area?
Osmosis
What is more concentrated solution the plant cell sap or the water in the cell?
The plant cell sap is more concentrated than the water in the cell because it contains a variety of solutes such as sugars, ions, and proteins dissolved in the water. This higher solute concentration in the cell sap creates a hypertonic environment compared to the surrounding water inside the cell.
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.
What happens to a cell if you place it in a distilled and concentrated salt solution?
If you place a cell in a distilled water solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis causing it to swell and possibly burst. In a concentrated salt solution, water will move out of the cell causing it to shrink and potentially die due to dehydration.
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 best describes the general direction of diffusion across the membrane of this cell?
Diffusion generally occurs from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. This means that molecules or ions will move from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated across the cell membrane.
What happens when you put a red blood cell in concentrated salt solutions?
When a red blood cell is placed in a concentrated salt solution, water will move out of the cell in an attempt to balance the concentration of salt inside and outside the cell. This process, known as crenation, causes the cell to shrink and lose its typical biconcave shape. Ultimately, the red blood cell can become deformed and may not function properly.
Given that a nonpolar substance is more concentrated outside of a cell how does it get across a cell's plasma membrane without the expenditure of energy?
Osmosis and diffusion.
What occurs in a hypertonic solution?
Water diffuses out of the cell, and the cytoplasm shrinks and gets more concentrated .
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.
