You are making flower soup, in a sense, when you place flowers in water. Flower stems are full of organic chemicals that can be eaten by bacteria or fungi, that can decay, that can make water cloudy, etc.
If a cell is placed in pure water, the water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. This process is known as cytolysis and can result in cell death.
Yeah I think so
The salt water egg experiment is to demonstrate that salt water is denser so the egg floats. When the egg is placed in pure water, the egg sinks because pure water is less dense than salt water.
Yes, pure water is hypotonic to red blood cells, meaning that it has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cells. When placed in a hypotonic solution, red blood cells may take in water and potentially burst due to the influx of water.
When dye is placed at one end of a beaker of otherwise pure water, it will start to diffuse throughout the water due to the concentration gradient. The dye molecules will move from the area of higher concentration (where the dye was added) to areas of lower concentration until they are evenly distributed. This process occurs until the solution reaches a state of equilibrium, resulting in a uniform color throughout the water.
Extremely pure water (Kolrausch water) has a very poor electrical conductivity.
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water will tend to lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This can lead to dehydration and potential cell damage.
When a potato slice/piece is placed in pure water, it gains mass and appears to be blown up. This is because the water is travelling into the potato because it has a lower concentration of water inside it.
If a cell is placed in pure water, the water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. This process is known as cytolysis and can result in cell death.
pure sodium reacts to just about everything... it even explodes when placed in water
Because it's a dehydrated GRAPE, maybe?
it would absorb more and more water until it will explode
We wouled all die
Although pure water does not rot, water usually has impurities in it that can make it unsafe to drink. Algae, bacteria, and viruses are just some of the things that can make previously safe to drink water unsafe over time.
yes and if you cut yourself in water you willl also grow in size
No, an animal cell will not shrink if placed in pure water. Instead, it will tend to swell and may eventually burst due to the process of osmosis, where water moves into the cell to equalize the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
