When a cell is in pure water it is in this type of solution?

hypotonic


What type of solution will lyse protoplast?

A hypertonic solution high in salts or sugars will typically lyse protoplasts by causing water to leave the cell through osmosis, leading to cell burst.


What type of solution is a cell in if water moves into the cell?

It is in a Hypotonic Solution.


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 happens to a plant cell if it is place in a hypotonic solution?

Osmosis works for any type of cell. Because of a lower concentration of solute inside the cell then out, the water would rush to where the solute is in an attempt to make it even. It would retain its shape because of its cell wall making it rigid which is absent in animal cells which is prone to swelling and making it burst.


What type of solution surrounds a cell when the cell gets bigger?

a hypotonic solution


What type of tonicity will draw water from red blood cells or Elodea cells?

A hypotonic solution will draw water from red blood cells or Elodea cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside the cell, leading to water entering the cell by osmosis to equalize the concentration. This causes the cells to swell and potentially burst.


What is hypotonic solution?

A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.


In which type of solution does cytolysis happen to a cell?

Cytolysis is when a cell busts due to an osmosic imbalance that causes extra water to enter into the cell. An example of cytolysis is the result of a stroke due to improper nutrient perfusion and waste removal changing cell metabolism.


3 types of tonicity on a cell?

The three type are hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic. Hypertonic is when the tonicity of the cell is lower than that of the surrounding liquid, isotonic is when the tonicity of the cell is equal to that of the surrounding liquid, and hypotonic is when the tonicity of the cell is greater than that of the surrounding liquid.
