A raw egg without its shell but with its inner membrane intact will either swell or shrink when placed in a solution because of the concentration gradient. The membrane is semi-permeable. An egg will shrink if it is placed in a solution that has a higher solute concentration than inside it. It will swell if it is placed in a solution that has a lower solute concentration than inside the egg.

Why cell swells or shrinks when placed in rainwater or sea water?
Cells swell or shrink when placed in rainwater or seawater due to osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. In hypotonic solutions like rainwater (lower solute concentration), water enters the cell, causing it to swell. Conversely, in hypertonic solutions like seawater (higher solute concentration), water leaves the cell, leading to shrinkage. This process is driven by the concentration gradient of solutes inside and outside the cell.
When can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis without using a scale?
You can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis if they swell or shrink. When plant cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and shrink. Conversely, when they are placed in a hypotonic solution, they gain water and swell. These changes in cell size indicate that osmosis is occurring.
Do you give isotonic or hypotonic solutions for too much blood loss?
Isotonic solutions, such as normal saline or lactated Ringer's solution, are typically used for blood loss because they help expand blood volume more effectively without causing cells to shrink or swell. Hypotonic solutions may cause cells to swell and can worsen the condition.
A Cell is placed in a salt solution whose concentration is greater than cell?
When a cell is placed in salt water it will shrink, but will swell in carbonated water. m.c
Hypotonic solutions have high solute and high water compared to another solution?
Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cells or another solution they are being compared to, which means they contain more water relative to solute. When cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, water tends to move into the cells, causing them to swell and potentially burst. This is in contrast to hypertonic solutions, which have a higher solute concentration and can cause cells to shrink as water moves out. Thus, hypotonic solutions are characterized by a higher water concentration relative to solute compared to another solution.
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink or swell?
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary

Would a carrott shrink or swell in salt water or in fresh water?
shrink in salt water. swell in fresh water.

What happens to a prune when placed in distilled water does it shrink swell or stay the same and why?
When a prune is placed in distilled water, it will swell. This is because distilled water has a higher concentration of water molecules compared to the prune, causing water to move into the prune through osmosis, resulting in swelling as the prune absorbs water.
What is the best type of tonicity in an environment of a red blood cell?
Isotonic solutions will maintain the normal volume of an individual red blood cell. A hypotonic solution will swell the cell, and a hypertonic one will shrink it.
Solution that causes a cell to swell?
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.
What are the differences between isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions in terms of their effects on cells?
Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cell, causing no net movement of water. Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes, causing water to leave the cell and shrink. Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes, causing water to enter the cell and swell.

Your salivary glands (jaws) swell up and for men your testicles swell up and then shrink and they stay that way for the rest of your life!
