What else can I help you with?
A blood cell which swells until it bursts when put into a hypotonic solution is an example of what process?
The hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than that of the fluid in the cell. Osmosis keeps trying to bring the concentrations into equilibrium until the cell bursts.
What is the general location of the nucleus in an Elodea cell?
The nucleus of an elodea cell is suspended in the cytoplasm within the cell wall. When the plant cell is well hydrated, the central vacuole swells with water and pushes the nucleus and chloroplasts toward the outer edge of the cell. In a poorly hydrated cell, the nucleus may be located any where within the cell.
What is the outer boundary of an animal cell called?
The outer boundary of a general animal cell is the cell membrane.
Rigid layer that surrounds a plant cell providing structural support?
The cell wall. In plants, the cell wall is made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. This helps the cell maintain rigidity, and also prevents bursting if excess amounts of water enter the cell.
What cell part is used to describe the outer edge of a frog blood cell?
Cell membrane
What is the word that means that a cell swells and burst?
When a cell swells and burst
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is .?
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells, the solution is Hypotonic. (check related links)
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells what is the solution?
hypotonic solutions
If water moves into a cell and the cells swells it's called what?
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.
What neither shrinks nor swells a cell?
isotonic
Does a red blood cell swells when it has undergone cremation?
No! It shrinks...
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
Why does a cell swell in a hypotonic a solution?
It swells because of the amount of water it has inside
When a cell swells up what term is applied to its condition?
When a cell swells up, the term applied to its condition is "cellular swelling" or "cellular edema." This can occur due to various reasons such as excessive water intake or impaired ion transport.
What is a solution that neither shrinks nor swells a cell?
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will not shrink or swell. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes within the cell. Since both concentrations are the same, no water flows in or out of the cell due to osmotic pressure.
If water move into a cell and the cell swells what terms describe the environment inside the cell?
The concentration of a sugar is high inside a cell and slightly lower outside the cell what is most likely to occur if the sugar molecules can cross the membrane
