Which medium has lower water concentration than the cell?
If the medium has a lower water concentration then the cell will lose water by osmosis. Such a solution is known as hypertonic solution. The plasma membrane is flexible and is made up of organic molecules called lipids and proteins.
When a cell contains a lower concentration of solution than the surrounding solution that cell is said to be in?
In comparing two solutions of unequal solute concentration, the solution with the higher solute concentration is hypertonic, and the solution with the lower solute concentration is hypotonic.
What will happen if a cell having same water concentration on both the sides?
Isotonic solutions have the same water concentration on both sides of the cell membrane. If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ).
What will happen to a cell if the concentration of water molecules in the cell is higher than the concentration of water molecules in surrounding medium?
When the particular concentration of water molecules present in the surrounding medium will be very higher than the present water molecule concentration within its cell, the cell tends to swell up.
When cells have higher water concentration than surrounding medium?
a) If a cell contains higher water concentration than the surrounding medium then the cell loses water and it shrinks. This process is called exosmosis.
When a cell kept in a medium has a lower concentration of water than the cell that is concentrated solution what happens?
If the medium surrounding the cell has a lower water concentration than inside the cell, i.e., if the solution is highly concentrated, then the cell will lose water through osmosis. Such concentrated solution is called Hypertonic solution.
When the solute concentration in solution 1 is lower than the solute concentration in solution 2 solution 2 is?
But now you have two mixtures of different solute concentrations. In comparing two solutions of unequal solute concentration, the solution with the higher solute concentration is hypertonic, and the solution with the lower solute concentration is hypotonic.
What is the consequence of the below condition a cell having low water concentration than the surrounding medium?
(a) (i) When a cell possess higher water concentration than the surrounding medium then exosmosis occurs in the cell due to difference in concentration and cell shrinks. (ii) When a cell has low water concentration than surrounding medium then endosmosis occurs that results in the swelling of the cell.
What are the consequences of the following conditions a a cell having low water concentration than the surrounding medium?
(b) When a cell has low water concentration than surrounding medium then, endosmosis occurs leading to the swelling of the cell. (c) A cell having equal concentration to its surrounding medium will not show any changes as isotomic conditions persist in the solvent.
What will happen to a cell when a cell having higher water concentration is added to a solution having lower water concentration?
More videos on YouTube a) If a cell contains higher water concentration than the surrounding medium then the cell loses water and it shrinks. This process is called exosmosis. b) If a cell has low water concentration than the surrounding medium cell intakes water from the surroundings and the cell bursts.
When the concentration of water inside of the cell is greater than its concentration outside?
A hypotonic environment would mean that the concentration of solute is higher inside the cell than outside, or that the concentration of solvent (usually water) is higher outside the cell.
What happens to a cell with low water concentration?
(ii) When a cell has low water concentration than surrounding medium then endosmosis occurs that results in the swelling of the cell. (iii) A cell having equal water concentration to its surrounding medium will not show any changes.
What happens when water is equal to its surrounding medium?
(c) A cell having equal water concentration to its surrounding medium. a) The water will from the higher concentration (of the cell) will move to lower concentration (surrounding). [The cell will shrink] b) The water from the high concentration (surrounding) will enter the cell.
When does water move from outside to inside the cell?
Also, surrounding medium possesses less solute concentration and high water concentration. Such, solution is said to be hypotonic. In such case, the water molecules move from outside to the inside of the cell through the cell membrane. This process is called as endosmosis. So, the correct answer is ‘Endosmosis’
What causes cytoplasm to shrink in a hypertonic medium?
Answer is (b) shrinkage of cytoplasm in hypertonic medium. Explanation: Living plant cell loses water through osmosis resulting in shrinkage or contraction of the contents of the cell away from the cell wall. This phenomenon is known as plasmolysis.
