The red cells from fatally burned patients lost proportional behaviour in hypertonic or hypotonic media. The abnormalities are not related to the area of the burn and may be the result of varying therapy. The monitoring of red cell water and water movement under tonicity stress is a convenient ...
How water will move, if a cell is placed in an isotonic, hypertonic or hypotonic solution? Explain. Which of the following best describes osmosis? A) movement of water into a solute. B) diffusion of water from a greater to a lesser water concentration...
1. The movement of water across a cell membrane to the side with a greater concentration of osmotically-active solutes is called: ___ Crenation of a cell may occur when it is placed in a(n)___ solution. a. neutral. b. i...
Step-by-Step Solution:1. Understanding Water Movement in Roots: Water moves within the roots of plants primarily through two pathways: the apoplast pathway and the symplast pathway.2. Defining
Evaporation of water in the upper respiratory tract, however, results in loss of body water. The volume of this water loss is larger when the rate of ventilation is high. Gastrointestinal tract The loss of gastric secretions containing HCl is a loss of a hypotonic solution because at a pH ...
1998). Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane (Kosinki 2017). There is that water will go from a hypertonic solution to a hypotonic solution because there is a lower concentration (Kosinski 2017). However, this is considered a simplistic explanation because it gives ...
Movement of solvent across semi-permeable membrane from high to low solvent concentration Hypertonic higher concentration of solute (shrink) hypotonic lower concentration of solute (burst) isotonic equal solute concentration plasmolysis process cells lose water in hypertonic solution ...
(i) Osmotic entry of water into the cell or system when a cell is placed in the pure water or hypotonic solution is called exosmosis. Due to exosmosis, the cell becomes turgid.(ii) Osmotic withdrawal of water from the cell or system when a cell is placed in the hypertonic solution is...
- Endosmosis: This is the movement of solvent from outside to inside a cell. It typically occurs in living cells when they are placed in a hypotonic solution. - Exosmosis: This is the opposite of endosmosis, where the solvent moves from inside the cell to the outside. This also occurs...
The aqueous environment of cells can be described based on its concentration of solute. There are three main types of solutions, hypertonic which has a greater concentration of solute compared to the cell, hypotonic which has a lesser concentration of solute, and isotonic where the amount of so...
