Hypotonic solution, where the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside, would cause the cell to swell and become larger as water flows into the cell to try to achieve equilibrium.
In a distilled solution an animal cell will swell and possibly burst. In a distilled solution the cell wall of the plant cell allows the plant cell to retain its shape.
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst. This can be harmful to cells, especially red blood cells.
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.
As, human cell is an animal cell. When it is placed in an hypotonic solution like freshwater,it will finally swell and burst
A hypotonic solution.
swell
hypertonic solution
Considering that I have no idea what a "hypnotic" solution might be, I'd assume that it hypnotizes the cell. Maybe it makes the cell think it's a chicken.I suspect you actually meant to type something else and didn't check your spelling.
A hypotonic solution, with a lower solute concentration compared to the inside of the cell, causes water to move into the cell via osmosis. This influx of water makes the cell swell and potentially burst if the osmotic pressure becomes too high.
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell because the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. Water will move from the solution into the cell to equalize the concentration, causing the cell to expand and potentially burst.
Any solution with more H2O than inside the cell will cause the cell to swell. Animal cells will burst under a lot of pressure, but plant cells will not, due to the presence of a cell well surrounding the cell. In other words, a hypotonic solution will cause a cell to swell, and a hypertonic solution will cause a cell to shrink. Hypo -> hyper
Yes, a cell can swell due to water influx, which can occur in response to changes in osmotic pressure, nutrient intake, or other cellular processes. However, excessive swelling can be harmful and lead to cell damage or lysis.
Hypotonic solution, where the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside, would cause the cell to swell and become larger as water flows into the cell to try to achieve equilibrium.
A hypotonic solution would.
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
