What does spasmodically mean?
from Merriam Webster Online Dictionary... subject to outbursts of emotional excitement : excitable
In a race will a horse win or will a lion win?
more likely is that the winner will be the horese as the lion can go FAST BUT FOR ONLY SHORT BURSTS where as the horse can go fast for longer periods of time more likely is that the winner will be the horese as the lion can go FAST BUT FOR ONLY SHORT BURSTS where as the horse can go fast for longer periods of time
In Africa a crocodile swims around 4566666 mph is it true?
No, it is not true. Crocodiles can swim up to 20 mph in short bursts, but they do not swim at speeds as high as 4566666 mph.
How fast do ocelots run?
Ocelots can run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour) in short bursts to catch prey or escape predators.

Why does a hypotonic solution causes a cell to burst?
Hypotonic is a relative term i.e when you say a hypotonic(less concentration of electrolyte or solute in it) solution it is in comparision with other solution. Here it is in comparision with the fluid of the cell. As you say a hypotonic solution is around the cell here, therefore by the process of osmosis, fluid from the cell will drain out resulting it to shrink since solution travels from high concentration (cell) to lower concentration of solute(in hypotonic solution). example: A grape kept in honey shrinks Cell can swell and burst if there is a hypertonic solution around it. example: Raisin kept in water swells
Is it hyper tonic when a red blood cell bursts?
No, when a red blood cell bursts, it is typically due to a hypotonic environment. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside, causing water to flow into the cell, leading to swelling and eventual lysis (bursting). Conversely, a hypertonic solution would cause the cell to shrink as water moves out.
What is function of hypo tonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst. This can be harmful to cells, especially red blood cells.
What happens to a plant cell if it is place in a hypotonic solution?
Osmosis works for any type of cell. Because of a lower concentration of solute inside the cell then out, the water would rush to where the solute is in an attempt to make it even. It would retain its shape because of its cell wall making it rigid which is absent in animal cells which is prone to swelling and making it burst.
What is the difference between the hypotonic and hypertonic?
A hypertonic solution has more solutes than a cell, where the cell shrinks and possibly dies but a hypotonic solution, meanwhile, has less solutes than a cell where the cell expands and possibly bursts.
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
A plant cell bursts in a hypotonic solution because water enters the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell. The increased water uptake in a hypotonic environment creates pressure on the cell wall, eventually leading to bursting.
What happens to the cell wall in a hypertonic isotonic and hyotonic solution?
In a hypertonic solution, the cell wall will shrink away from the cell membrane due to water leaving the cell. In an isotonic solution, the cell wall maintains its shape as water moves in and out of the cell in equilibrium. In a hypotonic solution, the cell wall will swell as water moves into the cell, increasing the pressure inside the cell.
What is it called when a animal cell swells and bursts when entering water?
The process is called osmotic lysis. This occurs when a cell takes in too much water due to a hypotonic environment, causing it to swell and eventually burst.
What is the process when a cell swells and bursts due to lack of nutrients?
I know of no such process. Cells swell and burst due to being in an hypotonic environment. Water seeps into the cell due to differing inter and intra cellular osmotic gradients. Cells also carry out apoptosis
What solution will cause hemolysis?
Hemolysis is the bursting of red blood cells (hemo- blood and lysis- bursting). There are three types of solutions that blood can be put into: hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. The names of these give you some clue as to how the cell will behave in solution. Hypertonic solutions have greater osmotic pressure than the cells they contain, which will cause the cell to shrivel as its contents diffuse into the solution. Hypotonic solutions have less osmotic pressure than the cells inside of them, so the contents of solution will diffuse across the cell membrane and into the cell, eventually causing it to swell and burst (hemolysis). Isotonic solutions have osmotic pressure equal to that of the solutes they contain, so no net change is observed.
Would a red blood cell increase or decrease in size if placed in a saline solution?
A red blood cell would increase in size when placed in a saline solution due to water moving into the cell to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell, a process called osmosis. This can cause the cell to swell and eventually burst if the solution is too hypotonic.
Why amoeba in a hypotonic solution shrinks?
Amoebas have a higher concentration of solutes inside their cells compared to the hypotonic solution outside. Water moves from the hypotonic solution into the amoeba's cell through osmosis, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst. To prevent this, the amoeba expels water and shrinks in size in order to maintain internal balance.
