What must happen to animal when it is skinned?
When an animal is skinned, the animals is going to die. It is best to kill the animal before you try to skin it.
What is likely to happen to rats that drink a saccharin solution and are then shocked?
they will develop an aversion to saacharim
When an animal and human mate what happens?
First of all, no one should be mating with an animal. However, if this were to happen, nothing would happen. Humans and Animals have different genetics, and they are incompatible with each other to produce offspring.
What factors determine time of death of an animal?
Stages of decomposition, or stages of physiological/chemical responses that happen after an animal dies, such as rigor mortis.
How much money does a animal biologist make?
Well, as itt happens. I happen to be an Animal Biologist myself, not allowed to tell you how much I earn, its private *tapping nose* ;)
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
What happen to the cells in hypotonic solution?
Gains water
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.
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 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.
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
What can happen to animal cell when placed in a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution is one which is more dilute (less concentrated) than another, in this case the inside of the cell (the cytoplasm). An animal cell in a hypotonic solution will absorb water by osmosis and will swell up. If nothing is done to remove the extra water the cell will eventually burst! See: http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/labbench/lab1/watpot.html for a simple animation and good background information on osmosis. Here is an experiment you can do at home: http://c-lab.co.uk/default.aspx?id=28&projectid=56 And here is another one: http://www.hrsu.mrc.ac.uk/schools/pdfs/Potatoes%20and%20Osmosis.pdfWhen an animal cell is in a hypotonic solution the cell will swell due to the movement of water into the cell and it will burst.
What would happen if a plant was placed in hypotonic solution?
Nothing would happen to the plant. It will have a normal growth provided other parameters are normal.
What happen if cell is placed in hypotonic solution?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypo tonic solution it undergoes endosmosis thus the cell becomes turgid but in case of animal cell due to the absence of cell wall the cell may not withhold the turgour pressure and might blast.
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 do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time?
The organism would swell and then burst.
