Then classify respectively the 3 solutions used in the experiment (experiment is 2 eggs soaked in vinegar for 2 days and 1 day in separate solution per egg, one for water and 1 for super saline solution) What is osmosis? Is an egg considered to be cell? Why?

Which of the following best describes a hypotonic solution? a-There is a higher concentration of solute outside the cell than inside the cell b-There is a lower concentration of solute outside the cell than inside the cell c-The solute concentration both inside and outside the cell is equal d-Through osmosis, water will enter the cell causing it to swell
The following are the characteristics of the setup depicted below: The left side has a higher concentration of "yellow spheres" than the right side. The blue solution is water, and the yellow spheres dissolve in water (i.e. are osmoles). The dotted orange line is a semi-permeable membrane with characteristics exactly the same as a cell's plasma membrane. Below are TWO "If" statements that are separate questions. IF the yellow spheres are freely permeable across the dotted line, the process of [ Select ] ["facilitated diffusion", "active transport", "simple diffusion", "osmosis"] will occur. Consequently, the volume of water on the left side will [ Select ] ["stay the same", "decrease", "increase"] IF the yellow spheres cannot cross the membrane at all, the process of [ Select ] ["osmosis", "facilitated…
Cells are placed in a beaker of water. The concentration of glucose outside of the cells is 3 mg/ml. The concentration of glucose inside of the cells is 33 mg/ml. Assuming glucose is the only solute, in which direction will osmosis occur? *
A cell with a total of 0.2 osmol/L is placed into a solution with a total of 0.3 osmol/L (switched from the previous question). It is assumed that the osmotic particles cannot pass through the cell membrane. Answer the following true or false questions. 1. Solvent is more concentrated in the cell 2. Water will osmose out of the cell 3. The cell will shrink and may look crenated 4. Plant cells have a cell wall to protect them from dehydration caused by osmosis
For a lab on diffusion and osmosis, where a egg yolk was placed in a cup water the following question asks Consider a scenario in which the size of an egg yolk remains unchanged after in water soaking for an hour. What are two possible explanations as to why this occurs? What would two reasons be for the yolk to be unchanged after a hour in water?
If a percent difference is a negative number, what does this tell us about the change in weight of the artificial cell? If the percent difference is a negative number, what does this tell us about the movement of water across the membrane?
Explain: what is osmosis? what are hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic cells?
Which of the following best describes an Isotonic solution? A. The cellular plasma membrane will expand when the cell is place into an isotonic solution. B. The cellular plasma membrance will shrink when the cell is placed into an isotonic solution. C. Solute concentrations in the solutions are equal acorss the cellular plasma membrane. D. Solvent concentrations cause unequal solution concentrations across the plasma membrane.
Given the following cell type and solutions, draw the cell, showing the net direction of osmosis (water flow) and say what state the cell will be in. Choose from the following terms to describe the state of the cell: Turgid, flaccid, plasmolyzed, crenulated (shriveled), lysed (burst), normal. An animal cell with an internal osmolarity of 0.32 M (total concentration of all the solutes in solution) that is placed in a solution of 0.32 M NaCl.
Choose the best answer When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution,a. solute exits the cell to equalize the concentration on both sides ofthe membrane.b. water exits the cell toward the area of lower solute concentration.c. water exits the cell toward the area of higher soluteconcentration.d. there is no net movement of water or solute.
In osmosis, water flows from hypertonic/hypotonic/isotonic solutions to hypertonic/hypotonic/isotonic solutions, until both solutions are hypertonic/hypotonic/isotonic.
