In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside the cell, leading to water moving into the cell by osmosis. As water enters, the cell swells and may eventually burst, a process known as lysis, if the influx continues unchecked. This is particularly relevant for animal cells, which lack a cell wall, while plant cells may become turgid but generally remain intact due to their rigid cell wall.
What else can I help you with?
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
What would happen if an cell was placed in a hypertonic solution?
It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.
WHAT happen if plant cell is placed n hyper tonic solution?
If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding solution. This loss of water can cause the cell to shrink and undergo plasmolysis, which may ultimately lead to cell death.
What happens to a red blood cell when placed hypotonic solution?
In isotonic solution nothing ail happen. In hypertonic solution fluid will leave the cell to dilute the external fluid, causing the cell to crenate. In Hypotonic solution fluid will move into the cell to dilute the contents of the cell, causing it to bust or haemolyse.
What will happen if if a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The water from the cytoplasm within the red blood cell will move out of the cell into the environment and the cell itself will shrivel up.
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
If an animal cell is put into a concentrated sugar solution what will happen?
The cell will dehydrate.
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
What will happen when you put an animal cell in a in hypertonic solution?
it will shrink
What will happen to a cell as a result of osmosis?
If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell causing it to shrink or shrivel. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell or burst. In an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water and the cell will remain the same.
What would happen if you poured starch indicator solution into the cell and filled the beaker with starch and glucose solution?
Well what i think is that The water outside of the "cell" will change colors and not the "cell" :D
What would happen to a cell if it were placed into a solution of lower osmolarity?
it would burst
What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in 50 percent salt solution?
It will shrink.
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.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
What If a system of linear equations has no solution?
It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!
What happens to a blood cell in a sodium solution?
If a blood cell is put into a high sodium solution it will become crenated (shrivel up). Water will flow out of the cell into the solution. If it is put in a low sodium solution it will absorb water/expand outward. If the sodium concentration of the blood cell and outside environment are the same, nothing will happen.
