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 can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain?
What can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain
What microorganism would find hypotonic conditions most detrimental?
Believed to be algae it is really protozoa since algae does not fall under the category of microorganism. That is why protozoa is the right answer. Now, if the question were to change from microorganism to just the general organism, then the answer would change to algae.
What is the function of the contractile vacuole in a protozoan?
Living in fresh water, a hypotonic environment, causes water to enter the cell of certain protists (protozoa ) and would lysis the cell unless there were a way to expel this water. This is what contractile vacuoles do. When the fill with enough water microfilament contraction expels the excess water from the vacuole and helps the cell maintain internal isotonicity.
Two functions of cell wall in plant cells?
The cell wall provides structural support and protection for plant cells, helping them maintain their shape and resist mechanical stress. It also regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell, serving as a barrier that helps control the internal environment of the cell.
Is the solution hypotonic in or out of the cell?
The solution is hypotonic when it is outside of the cell.
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
Water enters a cell when the solution surrounding the cell is?
Hypotonic, meaning that the solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell. This creates a concentration gradient that drives water molecules to move into the cell to balance the solute concentration.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
When a cell is in pure water it is in this type of solution?
hypotonic
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 is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in what solutions?
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in hypotonic solutions, where the external solution has a lower solute concentration than the cytoplasm of the cell. Water would move into the cell to equalize the solute concentration, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst.
What cell is full of water?
hypotonic
Is gram positive hypertonic or hypotonic?
Neither. The structure of the gram negative cell wall protects the cell from hypotonic solutions. Is this what you were asking?
Which type of cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic?
Animal cells will burst (lyse) first in a hypotonic solution because they lack a cell wall.
What happens to a cell when it is place in a hypotonic solution?
The cell explodes!
