What would most likely happen to an onion cell if it were placed in a liquid with a high concentration of solutes?

Answer 1

As the "salt solution" is a hypertonic solution which has the concentration of the solute outside of the cell is higher than the inside's. That also means the concentration of the water is now smaller in the outside of the cell than the inside's, which make the water molecules diffuse from the inside of the cell to the outside, resulted in making the cell (onion cell in this case) shrunken, or smaller.

Answer 2

it makes the cells really separeted and darker it changes the cell patter trough out the the process like if the typical red onion cell ist normal and u put saltwater the dots would aventually look like lines and dark would turn in to light red lines

Answer 3

if salt solution or vinegar is added to onion cell then the water will move out of the cell because there is a higher concentration of salt so the water will have to move outside to equal the amount

the cell will shrink

Answer 4

The onion cell would likely lose water due to the more concentrated solution outside the cell. This would cause the cell to shrink or plasmolyze as water moves out of the cell to balance the concentration gradient.

Answer 5

Since it has been put into a hypertonic solution, water from the cell will diffuse out into the saltwater. The cell membrane will peel away from the cell wall as the cell shrivels up.

Answer 6

the onion cell with shrink because all of the water in it will go into the solution because it is hypertonic to the onion cell.

Answer 7

The cell will lose water and shrivel.
