What would happen to a red blood cell if placed in distilled water without any solution?
The red blood cell would undergo hemolysis, or bursting, as water would enter the cell due to osmosis. The high concentration of water outside the cell compared to inside would cause the cell to swell and eventually burst.
What would happen if red blood cells were placed in very little salt water?
If you put the blood cells in very salty water the molecules would go from a higher concentration to a lower. In conclusion the blood cells would shrink.
If you place a blood cell in a beaker filled with pure water what would happen?
If a blood cell is placed in a beaker filled with pure water, it will undergo osmosis, leading to the movement of water into the cell. This influx of water causes the cell to swell and can eventually result in the cell bursting, a process known as hemolysis, due to the difference in osmotic pressure between the inside of the cell and the surrounding water.
What would happen to red blood cells if they were placed in a hypotonic solution?
They would burst because a hypotonic solution relative to the cells is one where the water content is high and solute content low, so water from the solution would rush into the red blood cells causing them to burst. In other words, osmosis is occurring where water is diffusing down a concentration gradient from high potential (where it is in excess) to low potential (where there is a lower concentration).
What happens if red blood cells were placed into breaker with plasma?
If red blood cells were placed into a beaker with plasma, the red blood cells would absorb the liquid and start to expand due to the osmotic pressure. Eventually, the red blood cells may burst (hemolysis) if the osmotic pressure is too high compared to their structural integrity. This would release hemoglobin into the plasma.
What would happen if you placed the rock in a glass of water?
increase
What would happen if a jellyfish was placed in a very low salt environment what would happen?
It would lose salt into the water.
What would happen if you placed a plant in a very salty water?
It dies.
What would happen if an onion is placed in water?
Nothing. The onion will get wet.
What would happen if you put a fresh water fish in the ocean?
Explain what would happen if a piece of seaweed from the ocean was placed in a fresh water aquarium?
What would happen to a red blood cell if placed in distilled water without any solution?
The red blood cell would undergo hemolysis, or bursting, as water would enter the cell due to osmosis. The high concentration of water outside the cell compared to inside would cause the cell to swell and eventually burst.
What would happen if your blood was pure water and why?
it would shrivel up
What would happen to a fresh water cell if placed into salt-water?
die..and its body will float on the surface
What would happen if a perch is placed in salt water?
There are certain types of perch that live in salt water, so in that case nothing would happen. However, if a fresh water perch was placed in salt water it would die. There are very few fish that can go between salt water and fresh water and perch is not one of them.
What would happen if you placed a normal body cell into fresh water?
it cause it to swell
What would happen if a normal cell were placed in a beaker of pure water?
it would absorb more and more water until it will explode
What would happen to a blood cell placed in a hyper tonic salt solution?
A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic salt solution will lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This process is known as crenation, and it can ultimately lead to the cell's death if the condition is not corrected.
