What else can I help you with?
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
Water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a solution?
Hypertonic solution. To further elaborate my point, hypertonic solution is a solution which has less water potential and more solutes as compared to inside the cell. Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high water potential to low water potential through a partially permeable membrane. Therefore, water leaves the cell into the solution. Hope this helps!!:)
Under what conditions will an animal cell burst?
When surrounded by a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution that has a water potential higher than that of the cell itself, such as pure water). Water moves into the cell by osmosis. The cell cannot withstand this pressure and will burst, a process known as haemolysis.
When there's more water outside of the cell than inside cell water will?
When there's more water outside the cell than inside, water will move into the cell through a process called osmosis. This occurs because water tends to flow from areas of lower solute concentration (more water) to areas of higher solute concentration (less water) to achieve equilibrium. As a result, the cell may swell and potentially burst if the influx of water is excessive.
What is one in which the concentration of dissolved materials in the water outside the cell is lower than the concentration inside the cell?
Hypotonic solution. In this type of solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell or potentially burst due to the osmotic pressure.
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
What examples of hypertonic solution?
if a cell is paced in a hypertonic solution means that water concentration in the cell is higher than the outside the cell so water moves out of the cell cell shrivels process called crentation
What would happen to the cells of a freshwater organism if it was placed in saltwater?
The concentration of water molecules outside the cell is lower than the concentration of the water molecules inside the cell. As a result, water moves out of the cell by osmosis. When water moves out, cells shrink. Put another way, the concentration of solute (salt) is higher outside the cell than inside. More water will flow out of the cell than into the cell through the cell membrane.

Why water moves from the soil in the root hair cell?
Water moves from the soil into the root hair cell through a process called osmosis. This occurs because the root hair cell has a higher solute concentration than the surrounding soil, causing water to move passively into the cell to balance out the concentrations. This allows the plant to absorb essential nutrients from the soil along with the water.
What is the difference between symplast and apoplast?
The apoplast and symplast pathways are two different pathways by which water can move through the root of a plant. Water in the apoplast pathway moves from cell to cell via spaces in the cellulose cell walls until it reaches the endodermis. At the endodermis, there is the 'apoplast block' - the cellulose cell walls of the cells of the endodermis have a substance called suberin which is impermeable and prevents the movement of water. The suberin makes up what is called the Casparian strip. At this point, all the water has to move into the vacuolar and symplast pathways. The function of the apoplast block is to prevent harmful substances from entering the xylem. The symplast pathway is where water moves from cell to cell in the cytoplasm via the plasma membranes and plasmodesmata. Water moves along the root by osmosis down a water potential gradient (as water moves into one cell, this cell then has a higher water potential than the adjacent cell, so water moves from cell to cell by osmosis). Water moves in this way along in the cytoplasm from the root hair cell to the endodermis.

Water will diffuse out of a cell when the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
You are correct. A hypertonic solution is a solution outside the cell that has more solute in it that water. This means that there is more water inside the cell than solute. Because there is more water in the cell, it will diffuse out of it and the cell will shrivel up.
What happens to animal cells in salt water?
Salt water is hypertonic (has more solute) to the cell. So when an animal cell is put in salt solution water will rush out and the cell will shrivel up because there is too much salt and too little water inside. the salt solution is said to be hypertonic to the cytoplasm of the cells.
Does sound move through water?
Sound moves through water. It just moves more quickly than in air, so it's harder for humans to identify it.
What is one in which the concentration of dissolved materials in the water outside the cell is lower than the concentration inside the cell?
Hypotonic solution. In this type of solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell or potentially burst due to the osmotic pressure.
What is happening when the cell start to swell up with water?
Osmosis is taking place
