The solvent strength is the same in each case, because the solvent is the same, namely water. The osmotic gradient across the cell membrane is what will drive water into the cells, because the bath water is more dilute than that within the cells, and the water will go in the direction where the solute (not the solvent) is most concentrated.
What else can I help you with?
What main solvent is inside all cells?
water, water everywhere
What is the principal inorganic solvent in cells?
Water is the principal inorganic solvent in cells. It plays a critical role in various biological processes, including solubilizing and transporting molecules within the cell.
What do cells contain so that they dont become waterlogged?
In plants, large spaces inside cells called vacuoles can hold water. In animal cells, the cell membrane contains water transporters or water channels that help in removind water if there is too much water inside cells
What is the universal solvent that moves in and out of cell by the process of osmosis?
Water is the universal solvent that moves in and out of cells through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides.
What dissolves things and fills up cells?
Water is a universal solvent that dissolves many substances, and it also fills up cells to maintain their structure and function.
What main solvent is inside all cells?
water, water everywhere
Describe one way the human body uses water as a solvent?
Water as a solvent is used in the stomach to aid digestion of food. It dilutes the hydrochloric acid secreted in the stomach in the normal digestion process. Too much acid and one suffers from acidosis/heartburn/reflux. Water as a dilutant limits this discomfort.
What is the principal inorganic solvent in cells?
Water is the principal inorganic solvent in cells. It plays a critical role in various biological processes, including solubilizing and transporting molecules within the cell.
Which solution is hypertonic to red blood cells?
Red blood cells do contain some salts and other ions inside the cell. This means that if it is placed in water (assuming that it is deionized and has no solvent in it) the cell will be hypotonic because the concentration inside the cell will be higher than it is outside the cell.
What are solutes and solvent in coffee and water?
In coffee, solutes refer to the substances that dissolve in water, such as soluble coffee compounds, sugars, and acids. Water acts as the solvent, which is the substance in which solutes dissolve. So, in coffee, water is the solvent and the solutes include the coffee compounds, sugars, and acids.
How does Solvent abuse destroys nerve cells?
Very few solvents destroy nerve or any other cells. Water is a solvent, as is olive oil, milk, wine, vinegar, and most other liquids.
What do cells contain so that they dont become waterlogged?
In plants, large spaces inside cells called vacuoles can hold water. In animal cells, the cell membrane contains water transporters or water channels that help in removind water if there is too much water inside cells
What is the universal solvent that moves in and out of cell by the process of osmosis?
Water is the universal solvent that moves in and out of cells through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides.
How will you compare the strength of interactions solute-solute vs solute-solvent in the iodine-water case?
iodine is only very slightly soluble in water ( 0.03 g/100 cm3 water hand back data) this means solute-solute interactions are stronger than the solute-solvent interactions between iodine and water.
What dissolves things and fills up cells?
Water is a universal solvent that dissolves many substances, and it also fills up cells to maintain their structure and function.
What is the solvent in mineral water?
The solvent is the pure water.
What is the solute and solvent of soda pop?
The solvent is the drink itself, and the solute, carbon dioxide (CO2), is dissolved inside it.
