This is answered in dot point form because this is the best way to answer your questions in VCE Biology
-A decalcified egg that is placed in a hypertonic solution will mean that the solute concentration outside of the egg is higher than the solute concentration in the egg cells
-This means that due to the solute not being able to move through the semi-permeable membrane, osmosis will take place
-Water molecules will move out of the egg to equalize the concentration of the solute outside of the cells and the solute concentration within the cells
-Therefore, this will cause a decrease in the mass of the decalcified egg
(the more hypertonic a solution is that the decalcified egg is placed into, the greater the percentage of mass loss there will be due to the increase in osmosis)
Hope this helped ^-^
What else can I help you with?
Is a hypertonic solution is one with low solute concentration?
No, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrink or crenate.
Why does a plant like celery get limp when placed in hypertonic solution?
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
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 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.
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What would happen to an animal cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?
You need dayan 2 hours
Water moves out of a cell if it is placed in this kind of solution?
hypertonic solution!
Crenation occurs when blood is placed in a?
hypertonic solution
If a cell is placed in a solution water flows from the cycloplasm of the cell to the solution?
Hypertonic
Is a hypertonic solution is one with low solute concentration?
No, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrink or crenate.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
Why does a plant like celery get limp when placed in hypertonic solution?
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
Cells lose water when placed in which of the following solutions?
A hypertonic solution.
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 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.
