Its through a process call osmosis 'the passage of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more concentrated solution until both solutions are of the same concentration'. This means that if the water is pure it will move into the cell. however if you use sugar water with a higher concentration than inside the cell water will move out. you can get the bacteria to shrink
What else can I help you with?
What will happen to a freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water Will water enter or leave the cell?
If a freshwater bacterial cell is placed in salt water, water will leave the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding salt water. This process is known as plasmolysis, and it can lead to the bacterial cell shriveling up and potentially dying due to dehydration.
What are the unicellular organisms that resemble a bacterial cell and are found in fresh and sea water?
The unicellular organisms that resemble bacterial cells and are found in fresh and saltwater environments are called cyanobacteria. These organisms are photosynthetic, often forming blue-green blooms in water bodies, and play important roles in aquatic ecosystems as primary producers. They are also known for their ability to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere.
What kinds of molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane?
Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
What will happen if an unboiled egg put in the beaker with fresh and salt water why?
When an unboiled egg is placed in fresh water, it will swell as water moves into the egg through osmosis, potentially causing it to float due to the increased volume. In contrast, when placed in salt water, the egg will lose water to the surrounding solution, causing it to shrink and possibly sink, as the saltwater is denser than the egg. This behavior is due to the differences in solute concentration between the egg's contents and the surrounding solutions.
Which freeze faster fresh water or salt water?
Fresh water.
What will happen if a bacterial cell is placed in distilled water with lysozyme?
The bacterial cell will undergo osmotic lysis due to the hypotonic environment created by the distilled water, causing water to enter the cell and potentially burst it. The presence of lysozyme will further damage the bacterial cell by breaking down its cell wall, making it more susceptible to lysis.
What fish in salt water die if you put it in the fresh water?
Most salt water fish will die if placed in fresh water.
What will happen to a salt water fish when placed in fresh water?
it will die
What happens when fresh water cell is placed in salt water?
it dies
What will happen to freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water?
Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
What will happen to a freshwater bacterial cell that is placed in salt water Will water enter or leave the cell?
If a freshwater bacterial cell is placed in salt water, water will leave the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding salt water. This process is known as plasmolysis, and it can lead to the bacterial cell shriveling up and potentially dying due to dehydration.
What happens when a saltwater fish cell is placed in fresh water?
it dies
Why marine fish die when placed in fresh water?
because there is a difference in salinity which means less salt there is alot less in fresh water
Does an egg sink or float when placed in water as a test to determine its freshness?
An egg that sinks in water is fresh, while an egg that floats is not fresh.
What would happen if freshwater bacterial cells are placed in salt water?
water leaves the cell causeing the cell to shrink.
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.
What would happen to a fresh water cell if placed into salt-water?
die..and its body will float on the surface
