What else can I help you with?
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 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 if the sugar solution is more concentrated than the sap vacuole?
If the sugar solution is more concentrated than the sap vacuole, water will move out of the vacuole into the surrounding solution via osmosis. This can cause the plant cell to shrink and become plasmolyzed.
How do cells react in hypotonic solution?
Hypertonic solution: highly concentrated, therefore water exits the cell, attracted to the solution. Cell ends up deflated-looking.Hypotonic solution: not very concentrated, therefore water enters cell, attracted to the solution inside the cell. Cell ends up looking like it's going to burst (and actually can burst).
What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).

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 .

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.
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.
What happens if the sugar solution is more concentrated than the sap vacuole?
If the sugar solution is more concentrated than the sap vacuole, water will move out of the vacuole into the surrounding solution via osmosis. This can cause the plant cell to shrink and become plasmolyzed.

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 occurs in a hypertonic solution?
Water diffuses out of the cell, and the cytoplasm shrinks and gets more concentrated .
What will happen to an animal cell if placed in a concentrated solution?
when an animal cell is placed in a concentrated or diloute solution, it soakes up the water but because animal cell do not have cell walls like plant cells they will eventually burst.
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 happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
