It's one of these answers:

a. The red blood cells will absorb water and increase in size.

b. The red blood cells will lose water and decrease in size.

c. The red blood cells will first absorb water, then lose water and maintain their normal size.

d. The red blood cells will first lose water, then absorb water, and finally double in size.

A is wrong, just let you know. Still trying to figure out the answer myself.

What will happen to the two cubes of potato in the beaker that contains concentrated sugar solution after an our?

After an hour in a beaker containing concentrated sugar solution, the two cubes of potato will likely shrink in size. This occurs due to osmosis, where water from the potato cubes moves out into the sugar solution to balance the concentration gradient. As a result, the cubes will lose water and become more dehydrated, leading to a wrinkled or shriveled appearance.


What would happen to a plant cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?

The plant cell would lose water through osmosis and shrink in size due to the higher concentration of solutes in the hypertonic solution compared to the cell. This process is called plasmolysis, and it can lead to wilting of the plant cell.


A cell with 1 percent solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 5 percent solute concentration What will happen to this cell over time?

Water will move from the cell into the surrounding solution via osmosis to try to equalize the solute concentrations. This will cause the cell to shrink and possibly become dehydrated.


What might happen to human blood cells if placed in a beaker of salt water?

It depends on the concentration of salt within the solution. If the saline solution was less than 0.9%, then water would flow into the cells and they would swell and possible rupture. If the saline concentration was greater than 0.9%, then water would flow out of the cells and shrink which is called crenation. It the saline solution was 0.9% exactly, that is isotonic to the interior of a RBC and nothing would happen.


Why is the ink drop spread into the beaker of water?

The molecules in the drop of ink will diffuse through the entire beaker of water. This will result in a homogeneous solution because of diffusion. This will only happen if the ink is of similar density to water.

If a beaker contains glucose and is permeable to glucose what will happen to the glucose?

If a beaker containing glucose is permeable to glucose, then the glucose will go through the beaker.


What would happen if you did an experiment in which the iodine solution was placed in the Baggie and the starch was in the beaker?

The iodine solution in the baggie would diffuse into the beaker containing the starch. The iodine molecules would interact with the starch molecules, resulting in the formation of a dark blue or black color, indicating the presence of a starch-iodine complex.

What happens if a cell is placed in a beaker containing isotonic solution?

If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water across the cell membrane. The concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell will be equal, so the cell will maintain its normal shape and size as there is no osmotic pressure acting on it.


What will happen to dye crystals initially in the bottom of a beaker of water over a long period of time?

The dye crystals will dissolve in the water over time, spreading evenly throughout the solution. This process is known as diffusion, where particles move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration until reaching equilibrium.


What will happen to solution in the beaker ad the tubing looks after 20 minutes?

After 20 minutes, the solution in the beaker will likely show changes depending on the experiment being conducted, such as diffusion or osmosis. If the tubing is semi-permeable and there is a concentration gradient, the solution inside the tubing may either dilute or concentrate based on the movement of solutes or water. The beaker solution may also change in color or clarity if substances are exchanged. Overall, the specific outcomes will depend on the nature of the solutions and the conditions of the experiment.


What will happen if you reduce air pressure from a beaker containing water?

Nothing............. But if the water has any gas dissolved in it, these may form bubbles.


What would happen if you placed an artificial cell with 5M glucose in a beaker with pure water?

A solution which has a high concentration of a solute (example - glucose) will have a low water concentration. But when you look at pure water it has a high water concentration. So if a cell contains a high concentration of glucose and was placed in a pure water solution, water would simply move down its concentration gradient (going from high to low) which eventually causes the cell to swell. I hope this helped :D

What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?

A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.


What would happen to the weight of a dialysis bag filled with molasses placed in a beaker of water?

The water in the dialysis bag would diffuse out into the molasses solution. This is because there is a high concentration of water inside the dialysis bag and a a lower concentration of water in the molasses solution. By diffusion or osmosis, the water would tend to move from the concentrated bag to a less concentrated solution.
