Question

when we prepare a mount of a cell and add salt solution on the mount what happens?? does the cell shrink or get swollen??

Answer 1

Answer:

What happens to the cells as the salt water flows under the cover slip? The salt water is a hypertonic solution, thus water will move out of the cell. As water moves out of the cells there is a loss of turgor pressure and the plasma membranes detach from the cell walls as the cells shrink. 4.

Explanation:

Water in cells moves toward the highest concentration of salt. ... If a higher concentration of salt is placed outside of the cell membrane, the water will leave the cell to bond with it. The loss of water from this movement causes plant cells to shrink and wilt.

Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution. It is cell shrinking due to loss of water from a cell. Water leaves the cell because the elodea is in a hypertonic environment with a lower concentration of water outside the cell than inside the cell.

Hypotonic solution is a solution having lower osmotic pressure i.e; having less solute and more water than other solutions. When a cell is placed in hypotonic solution water enters towards the higher concentration i.e., from cell to surrounding as the cell is hypertonic.

A hypotonic solution causes a cell to swell, whereas a hypertonic solution causes a cell to shrink. Although it is related to osmolality, tonicity also takes into consideration the ability of the solute to cross the cell membrane. ... To exert an osmotic pressure across a membrane, a solute must not permeate that membrane.
