What will happen to a tomato if placed in an isotonic solution?
If placed in an isotonic solution, the water concentration inside and outside the tomato cells will be the same, leading to no net movement of water. This will result in the tomato maintaining its shape and size without gaining or losing water.
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.
When do Hemolysis occurs when a blood cell is placed into?
A hypotonic solution. The concentration of solute inside the cell is greater than that outside the cell and water enters the cell by osmosis. Water travels from an area of higher water concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower water concentration (inside the cell) and the cell swells.
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 to the cell if placed in distilled water?
If a cell is placed in distilled water, water will move into the cell by osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst due to the influx of water. This process is called hemolysis, and it occurs because the concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than the concentration of solutes in the distilled water.
Is salt water a mixture or a soultion?
salt with water is a soultion
in osmosis What happen in potato A and in potato B?
In osmosis, water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In potato A, if placed in a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration), water will move out of the potato causing it to shrink (plasmolysis). In potato B, if placed in a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration), water will move into the potato causing it to swell (turgor pressure).
What would most likely happen to an onion cell if it were placed in a liquid with an high concentration of solutes?
The cell will lose water and shrivel.
What are conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell?
If the concentration of water inside the cell is higher, water will leave the cell. This would happen if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.
Does osmosis occur when dried apple slices are placed in distilled water and corn syrup?
Yes, osmosis will occur when dried apple slices are placed in distilled water and corn syrup. The dried apple slices will absorb water in the distilled water through osmosis as water moves from an area of high concentration to low concentration. In the corn syrup, the opposite will happen as water will move out of the apple slices into the higher concentration solution.
What will happen to a tomato if placed in an isotonic solution?
If placed in an isotonic solution, the water concentration inside and outside the tomato cells will be the same, leading to no net movement of water. This will result in the tomato maintaining its shape and size without gaining or losing water.
What would happen if a living cell was placed into pure water?
Because the water is pure, the water outside will follow the concentration gradient of osmosis (from high concentration to low concentration). Since the percentage of solutes is much lower (in fact it's not even there in pure water) and the water concentration is much higher, ergo it'll flow into the cell to balance out the concentration. This causes the cell to swell, and eventually burst, or lyse.
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 will happen if a raisin is placed in a low concentrated sugar solution?
If a raisin is placed in a low concentrated sugar solution, water will move from the high concentration inside the raisin to the low concentration solution, causing the raisin to swell up and become plump as it absorbs water through the process of osmosis.
What would happen to a grape placed in a bowl with a highly concentrated sugar water?
the grape would shrivel up. This is because the water in the grape would leave it to try to balance out the sugar concentration.
What is the diffusion of water from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated soultion through a membrane?
This process is known as osmosis. Water molecules move across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
What would happen if you placed an artificial cell with 5M glucose in a beaker with pure water?
A solution which has a high concentration of a solute (example - glucose) will have a low water concentration. But when you look at pure water it has a high water concentration. So if a cell contains a high concentration of glucose and was placed in a pure water solution, water would simply move down its concentration gradient (going from high to low) which eventually causes the cell to swell. I hope this helped :D
