What will happen if a plant cell is placed in a solution where the concentration of water is less than the water inside the cell?
If a plant cell is placed in a solution with a lower concentration of water (hypertonic solution), water will move out of the cell through osmosis. This causes the cell to lose turgor pressure, leading to wilting or plasmolysis, where the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. Ultimately, the plant may experience stress and reduced ability to photosynthesize if the condition persists.

What will happen if a raisin is placed in a low concentrated sugar solution?
If a raisin is placed in a low concentrated sugar solution, water will move from the high concentration inside the raisin to the low concentration solution, causing the raisin to swell up and become plump as it absorbs water through the process of osmosis.
What will happen to a tomato if placed in an isotonic solution?
If placed in an isotonic solution, the water concentration inside and outside the tomato cells will be the same, leading to no net movement of water. This will result in the tomato maintaining its shape and size without gaining or losing water.
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.
When do Hemolysis occurs when a blood cell is placed into?
A hypotonic solution. The concentration of solute inside the cell is greater than that outside the cell and water enters the cell by osmosis. Water travels from an area of higher water concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower water concentration (inside the cell) and the cell swells.
What will happen to a carrot in a concentrated salt solution?
When placed in a concentrated salt solution, the carrot will lose water through the process of osmosis. This will cause the carrot to shrink and become limp as the water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the carrot) to an area of lower concentration (the solution).
When placed into a soultion that is 30 water and 70 salt what would happen to a cell that has 70 water concentration?
When a cell with a 70% water concentration is placed in a solution with 30% water and 70% salt, water will move out of the cell into the surrounding solution due to osmosis. This occurs because water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the cell) to an area of lower concentration (the external solution). As a result, the cell will lose water, potentially leading to cell shrinkage or crenation.
A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called?
A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called hypertonic. This means that the solute concentration in the solution is higher compared to the solute concentration inside the cell. Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will lose water and shrink due to osmosis.
Why does a raw egg swell or shrink when placed in different solutions?
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 does a cell placed in hypotonic solution swell?
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.
What can happen to algal cells when placed in a isotonic solution?
When placed in an isotonic solution, algal cells will remain the same size and maintain their normal shape. This is because the concentration of solutes inside the cell is balanced with the concentration of solutes in the surrounding solution, resulting in no net movement of water into or out of the cell.
What will happen to the potato when place is a concentrated sugar solution?
When a potato is placed in a concentrated sugar solution, water will move out of the potato cells via osmosis, resulting in the potato shrinking and becoming soft and limp. This is because the sugar solution has a higher solute concentration than the potato cells, causing water to move from an area of higher water concentration (inside the potato) to an area of lower water concentration (the sugar solution).
What would happen if you put liver cell in a hyptonic solution?
If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net movement of water into the cell and it will eventually burst. If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there will be a net movement of water out of the cell and it will shrink.
