When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, as the concentration of solutes is equal inside and outside the cell. This balance maintains the cell's shape and volume, allowing it to function normally. The cell remains in a stable state, which is essential for maintaining homeostasis. Overall, isotonic conditions are ideal for most cells in the body.
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 would happen to a leaf if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?
The cells of lettuce leaf will be plasmolyzed due to exo osmosis.
What would most likely happen to a onion cell of it were placed in a liquid with a concentration of solutes?
In a hypotonic environment, an onion cell will fill up with water. Hypotonic refers to a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than the solution you're comparing it to.
What will happen if an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm?
If an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm (hypotonic solution), water will move into the amoeba through osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. This is because the higher concentration of solutes inside the amoeba creates a gradient for water to move into the cell.
What would happen to a cell if it were placed into a solution of lower osmolarity?
it would burst
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 would happen if you placed a peeled apple in a 5 percent salt solution?
It would get salty! duhhh
What would happen if a plant was placed in hypotonic solution?
Nothing would happen to the plant. It will have a normal growth provided other parameters are normal.
What would happen to an animal cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?
You need dayan 2 hours
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.
Is 0.2 NaCl solution istonic?
Not exactly. Normal saline, which is isotonic, is 0.154M. However, if you used any values with only one significant figure in your calculations, you would have to round it to 0.2.
What happens to a salt solution placed in the sun for 1 week what would happen at the end of the week?
Evaporation would occur and salt crystals would form.
What would happen to the skin of a pond animal if placed in a salt solution?
really nothing. I mean it can be burned slightly bout that's it
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 would happen if a cell was placed in a strong salt solution?
The overwhelming extracellular Na+ would make water leave the cell, causing it to shrivel.Water comes out of the cell to develop equilibrium.
What would happen to a leaf if it were placed in a highly concentrated salt solution?
The cells of lettuce leaf will be plasmolyzed due to exo osmosis.
