Remember that by definition, osmosis refers to the movement of water from the less concentrated side of solute to the more concentrated side of solute. The surrounding liquid in this case, has a lower concentration than the inside of the cell of the celery. So, the solution is considered hypotonic.
The water will move from the outside to the inside of the cell. The cell will ”expand” its size thanks to the amount of water that moved inside of the cell. You will obtain a rigid and fresh celery.
Osmosis Practice Example Celery in distilled water: molecule Is the surrounding solution hypotonic or hypertonic? Will...
In osmosis, water flows from hypertonic/hypotonic/isotonic (highlight one) solutions to hypertonic/hypotonic/isotonic (highlight one) solutions, until both solutions are hypertonic/hypotonic/isotonic (highlight one).
less concentrated solution in osmosis is called what? Hypertonic,hypotonic,isotonic
The process of water leaving a cell through osmosis due to high concentrations of salt or other material in the surrounding solution means the cell was in what type of solution originally? A. Hypotonic B. Isotonic C. Hypertonic D. Isostatic
Post-Lab Questions For each of the tubing pieces, identify whether the solution inside was hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic in comparison to the beaker solution in which it was placed. Which tubing increased the most in volume? Explain why this happened. What do the results of this experiment this tell you about the relative tonicity between the contents of the tubing and the solution in the beaker? What would happen if the tubing with the yellow band was placed in a...
Of Solute particles. If a cell is in a hypotonic solution, the extracellular fluid has a osmolarity then the inside of the cell. This means it has a solute concentration outside of the cell. Water will move the cell. If a cell is in a hypertonic solution, the extracellular fluid has a osmolarity then the inside of the cell. This means it has a solute concentration outside of the cell. Water will move the cell. If the osmolarity of the...
