What happens to blood in a hypertonic salt solution?
Q. A hypertonic salt soultion has a higher concentration of solutes than a blood cell. What happens when a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution? Your answer is greatly appreciated.
Asked by Democrats for America - Mon Nov 12 21:50:09 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Since blood cells have semipermeable membranes that allow water to pass but not solutes, some of the water from the cytoplasm of the blood cells will leave the cell until they are isotonic with the solution that they are in, causing the blood cells to shrivel up.

What happens to a cell injected with hypertonic solution that is suspended in an isotonic solution.?
Q. A cell is suspended in an isotonic solution. If it is injected that with hypertonic salt water, what happens to the cell?
Asked by braveheart_10010 - Sun Feb 8 16:55:31 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. A cell in a hypertonic solution means that there is a greater density of particles outside of the cell versus the density inside the cell, and, due to homeostasis, the water inside of the cell leaves the cell to dilute the particles outside of the cell. With a cell suspended in an isotonic solution, the cell stays the same size, pumping the same amount of water in as it pumps out.

Asked by Miss.Understood - Wed Jun 10 22:58:33 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Yes, increasing the temperature will increase the motion of the particles. In osmosis the particles of both the solvent and solute are in constant motion, even if it is isotonic and at equilibrium. Therefore osmosis will occur at a faster pace, and the particles will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration faster. Lynn

In a hypertonic solution, what is meant by it having a higher concentration of solute?
Q. In a hypotonic solution, what is meant by it having a lower concentration of solute?
Asked by Fred B - Mon May 26 15:36:05 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The best way to think of hypertonic and hypotonic is in terms of direction of flow of the SOLVENT molecules in a system where the two solutions are in contact but do not mix (i.e., separated by a membrane that allows solvent molecules to pass but not solute molecules). Nature will always try to equalize the concentration of solute throughout the system. So a solution containing a high solute concentration (hypertonic) in contact with a solution of less solute concentration (hypotonic) will result in net flow of solvent molecules from the hypotonic solution (where the solvent concentration is higher) toward the hypertonic solution (where the solvent concentration is lower).

A. Elaine, When dealing with osmotic questions, you always need to compare solutions. So in this case, you need to specify that the distilled water placed in a cup is XXXtonic **to** something. Thus your distilled water in a cup could be isotonic to rainwater (less the pollutants in it from atmospheric contamination). Another problem is that osmosis... diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane... has solutions defined not by the concentration of water but the concentration of what is dissolved in the water... thus often the confusion. Distilled water has a high (100%) concentration of water... but it is not a "hyper-" (high) solution in terms of the xxxtonic definitions. If this distilled water was outside of the cell, it… [cont.]

Asked by Ryan B - Wed Nov 12 14:39:02 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you place a plant in a hypertonic solution the water will move out of the plant cells causing the cell membrane to shrink away from the cell wall. This will cause the plant cells to lose their turgor pressure and the plant will no longer be able to stand upright and will wilt. All the plant needs to reverse this is to be placed in a hypotonic solution (ie, water the plant).

Asked by Mind - Thu Jul 9 07:00:25 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. A hypertonic environment for a cell is created when the solution outside of the cell is hypertonic in comparison to the cytoplasm of the cell. The amoeba has more dissolved solute than the cytoplasm of the cell. In this situation, water is in higher concentration inside the cell and will move, by osmosis, to the outside in an attempt to equalize the concentrations. Water leaving the cell will cause shrinkage of the cell and a loss of mass. Thus, it shrinks not bursts.

Asked by blue16 - Sun Sep 28 22:00:56 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The sucrose solution is actually what will be hyper or hypotonic and it is hypotonic as the concentration of solute (sucrose) is greater in the sucrose solution which means the solution has a LOWER concentration of water than does the cells. Therefore, due to osmosis, the cells will lose water/weight.

In a hypotonic environment, the cell will be in dynamic equilibrium. It will be a healthy, happy cell. In a hypotonic situation , there will be a net gain of water into the cell by inward osmosis. The cell will bulge , but not burst, due to a rigid cell wall.
