What else can I help you with?
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
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.
What would happen if an cell was placed in a hypertonic solution?
It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.
What would happen to marine protozoan if removed from its normal habitat and placed into a freshwater pool?
Loss of water through osmosis is what would occur. The protozoan would shrivel up if it did not have a way to replace freshwater in its cells.
What would happen to a red blood cell if placed in distilled water without any solution?
The red blood cell would undergo hemolysis, or bursting, as water would enter the cell due to osmosis. The high concentration of water outside the cell compared to inside would cause the cell to swell and eventually burst.
If Too much water moved into a cell?
The water vacuole would burst
What would happen if you placed a normal body cell into fresh water?
it cause it to swell
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
What will happen if sea urchin eggs are taken from the sea and placed in fresh water?
the eggs would swell in size because of the salt in the sea water.
If sea urchin eggs are taken from the sea and placed in fresh water what will happen?
the eggs would swell in size because of the salt in the sea water.
When strip of potato was placed in water did it shrink?
When a strip of potato is placed in water, it typically does not shrink; instead, it may swell. This is due to osmosis, where water moves into the potato cells, causing them to become turgid. If the potato strip is placed in a hypertonic solution (like salt water), it would lose water and shrink.
Would a carrott shrink or swell in salt water or in fresh water?
shrink in salt water. swell in fresh water.

What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in distilled water?
because of osmosis it would get fatter and fatter with water till it burst. aww.

Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
