Question

If a cell is a placed in a hyper-tonic solution which has higher

concentration of solute and lower concentration of water as compared

to the concentration of cell sap, the water molecules move from cell

sap to the external solution so that the cell shrinks

(a) What happen when you put RBC in hypertonic solution?

(b) Define isotonic solution.

(c) Difference between osmosis and diffusion.

(d) Why does the skin of your finger shrink when you wash clothes for

a long time?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hypertonic solutions have less water ( and more solute such as salt or sugar ) than a cell.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 ).

Answer 2

Answer:

a it will shrink

b solutions having same concentration of solute

c osmosis is movement of solvent through semi permeable membrane in liquid and diffusion is movement of solute

d because water moves from hypo to hyper so it moves from finger to water making finger shrink.
