    that in a hypertonic solution the cells fluid rushes out of the cell and causes it to shrivel. In a hypotonic solution water rushes into the cell and causes the cell to expand and eventually pop. In a isotonic solution water rushes in and out of the cell and causes the cell to stay the same. HYPOTHESIS: On the carrot lab the carrot that will be placed in the salt water will be hypertonic and will shrink because the cells will shrivel. The carrot that is placed in just water will be hypotonic and will

    temperatures has a mass of very nearly one kilogram. Osmolarity and tonicity are related‚ but different concepts. Thus‚ the terms ending in -osmotic (isosmotic‚ hyperosmotic‚ hyposmotic) are not synonymous with the terms ending in -tonic (isotonichypertonichypotonic). The terms are related in that they both compare the solute concentrations of two solutions separated by a membrane. The terms are different because osmolarity takes into account the total concentration of penetrating solutes and non-penetrating

    concentrations between a cell and its environment. The terms hypotonichypertonic‚ and isotonic are used in referring to the identification of the possible relative concentrations. The first term‚ hypotonic‚ is the solution that contains lower concentrations of solute particles‚ which means that the concentration inside the cell is greater than the concentration outside. A hypotonic solution causes the cell to swell in size. The second term‚ hypertonic‚ is the solution that contains higher concentration

    this is showing that our first 2 test tubes were hypotonic‚ which means water is sucked out. Thus in a less concentrated environment. Whereas test tube C was less isotonic‚ and the test tubes E and F were hypertonic‚ stating that it is situated in a more concentrated environment. Some of the potatoes gained mass because the water is going in the potato‚ showing that the potato is more concentrated than the environment. Thus the environment is hypotonic which equals to a higher concentration. In the

    physical environment. The cells may be isotonichypotonic‚ and hypertonic. Isotonic is when the cell and is environment have equal concentrations of solutes. Therefore cells in an isotonic solution do not experience osmosis. When the cell is hypotonic it has a lower concentration of solutes so water will move out of the cell. When the cell is hypertonic‚ it will have a higher concentration of solutes and water will move into the cell to attempt to reach an isotonic state. The primary purpose of this

    Introduction When plant and animal cells are placed in a hypotonic environment‚ osmosis will occur. The structure of these cells determines the response to the difference in gradient‚ whether this be lysis (the explosion of cells due to the sudden increase in water pressure within the cell) in animal cells or turgor pressure (the pressure created by the increase in water pressure within the cell) in plant cells. Turgor pressure prevents further osmosis‚ which causes the water potential outside the

    concentration of solutes. The potato cell has 3% of dissolved materials. Hypertonic is when the solution has more dissolved materials outside the cell than inside. The cell will lose water this way and shrink. The potatoes in the 5% salt solution will shrink. Hypotonic is when there is less solute dissolved materials inside the cell. The cell will gain water and get bigger. The potatoes in 1% salt solution will get bigger. Isotonic is when the solution has equal amounts of solute inside and outside the

    molecules is higher in potato cells‚ the cytoplasm of the cell is hypertonic. The water molecule will flow from higher concentration to lower concentration‚ so that they get out of potato cells through osmosis. The plasma membrane of plant cell will collapse as the water inside the cell become less and less‚ that cause plasmolysis and the cell become flaccid. 2. A salt water fish may die if placed in fresh water. Why? In order to keep an isotonic condition‚ the salt water fish’s cells have the same concentration
