What would happen if a cell is placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution?
When a cell is placed in distilled water, water will move into the cell by osmosis causing it to swell and potentially burst. If the swollen cell is then transferred to a 5% salt solution, water will move out of the cell to try to reach equilibrium with the surrounding solution, causing the cell to shrink and possibly undergo crenation.
Why is the pH meter placed in distilled water before testing each solution?
Not the pH-meter, but the electrode.
What is the environment of a red blood cell when red blood cells are approximately 0.25 percent salt Red blood cells are placed in distilled water?
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
What happens to a cell placed in distilled water and then transferred to 5 percent salt will it get bigger or smaller?
The cell will get bigger when placed in distilled water due to water moving into the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell. When transferred to 5% salt solution, the cell will shrink because water will move out of the cell to try to dilute the high salt concentration outside the cell, causing it to decrease in size.
What happens when pollen grains are placed in a 10 percent sugar solution?
When pollen grains are placed in a 10 percent sugar solution, they will absorb water from the solution through osmosis. This can cause the pollen grains to swell and become turgid. The sugar solution provides a hypertonic environment, leading to an influx of water into the pollen grains.
Would a cell placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution get larger or smaller?
get larger then smaller... XD
A dialysis bag is filled with distilled water and then placed in a sucrose solution?
Distilled water will move out of the dialysis bag and into the sucrose solution due to osmosis and the fact that the dialysis bag has a hypertonic solution of H2O as compared to the sucrose solution.

How does distilled water effect osmosis?
Distilled water has a lower concentration of solutes compared to a solution, causing it to be hypotonic. When placed across a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a higher solute concentration, water will move through osmosis from the distilled water side to the solution side. This will result in an increase in the volume of the solution as water moves into it.
A cell contains 3 percent salt and 97 percent water How would this cell respond if placed in a distilled water solution?
The cell would undergo the process of osmosis, where water molecules move from the area of higher concentration (the distilled water solution) to the area of lower concentration (inside the cell). This would cause the cell to expand and potentially burst due to the influx of water.
Why is the pH meter placed in distilled water before testing each solution?
Not the pH-meter, but the electrode.
What is the environment of a red blood cell when red blood cells are approximately 0.25 percent salt Red blood cells are placed in distilled water?
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
Is eye wash distilled water?
Eye wash is usually sterile saline solution so that it does not burn or sting when placed on the eye.
What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in 50 percent salt solution?
It will shrink.
What happens to a cell placed in distilled water and then transferred to 5 percent salt will it get bigger or smaller?
The cell will get bigger when placed in distilled water due to water moving into the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell. When transferred to 5% salt solution, the cell will shrink because water will move out of the cell to try to dilute the high salt concentration outside the cell, causing it to decrease in size.
What happens to a prune when placed in distilled water does it shrink swell or stay the same and why?
When a prune is placed in distilled water, it will swell. This is because distilled water has a higher concentration of water molecules compared to the prune, causing water to move into the prune through osmosis, resulting in swelling as the prune absorbs water.
Does a biopsy specimen is placed in a 10 percent formalin solution to preserve the tissue?
yes
