Plasmolysis of a human red blood cell would occur if the cell were?
Placed in a hypertonic solution with a higher solute concentration than inside the cell, causing water to leave the cell and the cell to shrink and shrivel.
Why can't plasmolysıs take place in an animal cell?
Plasmolysis cannot occur in animal cells because they lack a rigid cell wall, which is essential for this process. Plasmolysis involves the contraction of the cell membrane away from the cell wall due to loss of water in a hypertonic environment. In animal cells, instead of plasmolysis, the cell would shrink and potentially undergo crenation when placed in a hypertonic solution, as there is no cell wall to provide structural support.
What causes plasmolysis in plants?
Plasmolysis occurs when the cell(hypotonic) is kept in a hypertonic solution. If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure, making the plant cell flaccid. Plants with cells in this condition wilt. Further water loss causes plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cell wall and the membrane. Eventually cytorrhysis -- the complete collapse of the cell wall -- can occur.
What solution does crenation occur in?
Crenation occurs in a hypertonic solution, where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to leave the cell, leading to shrinkage and deformation of the cell.
Would a reaction occur if a piece of Zn metal were placed in a SnSo4 solution?
No because zinc is more reactive than tin so it dilutes it

What happen to onion cell epidermis if placed in hypertonic solution?
If an onion cell epidermis is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell due to osmosis, causing the cell to shrink and the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall. This process is known as plasmolysis.
What will happen if a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic salt solution?
Well, honey, if you throw a blood cell into a hypertonic salt solution, that cell is gonna shrivel up like a raisin in the sun. The salt solution outside the cell has more solutes than inside, so water will leave the cell to try to balance things out, leaving the poor cell looking like a deflated balloon. So, in short, that blood cell is gonna have a bad day.
Cytoplasm in a plant cell will shrink if the cell is?
Undergoing dehydration or plasmolysis due to loss of water. This can occur when the cell is placed in a hypertonic environment where water is drawn out of the cell, causing the cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall.
Hemolysis may occur when a blood cell is placed into what?
hypotonic solution
Example hypertonic solution?
hypertonic solution is when the cell contains more water inside of it than there is in its environment. Because of the process of osmosis, the water inside the cell will move outside into the environment to make it balanced. This will cause the cell to shrivel up. An example would be a water balloon filled with water. The water inside would leak out if there is a hole in the balloon (cells already have tiny openings so it doesnt need to be ruptured for this to occur) because there is more water inside than there is in its environment. The balloon will eventually leak out all its water and become shriveled. Hope that helps!
What happens to a piece of copper placed in magnesium chloride solution?
When a piece of copper is placed in magnesium chloride solution, no reaction will occur because copper is less reactive than magnesium. Copper will remain unchanged in the solution.
Why osmosis does not occur when you place boiled rasins in hypertonic and hypotonic solution?
Boiling ruptures the cell membrane of raisins, preventing osmosis from taking place as the cell membrane is necessary for the process. In a hypertonic solution, the raisins would not absorb water due to the damaged cell membrane. In a hypotonic solution, they would not release water as the cell membrane cannot regulate the movement of water.
What is the difference between the hypotonic and hypertonic?
A hypertonic solution has more solutes than a cell, where the cell shrinks and possibly dies but a hypotonic solution, meanwhile, has less solutes than a cell where the cell expands and possibly bursts.

What would happen if you mixed a hypertonic solution and a hypotonic solution?
If place in a hypertonic solution it would swell and/or burst because to much water is getting in the cell from the hypertonic solution ( osmosis ). If placed in a hypotonic solution it will end up shrinking from the water leaving the cell to the hypotonic solution ( again osmosis ). Osmosis is when water moves to a lower pressure of water so if there's more water pressure in the cell it will move out into the less dense solution. :)
