Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 9TYU
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Extensive irrigation in arid regions causes salts to accumulate in the soil. (When water evaporates, salts that were dissolved in the water are left behind in the soil.) Based on what you learned about water balance in plant cells, explain why increased soil salinity (saltiness) might be harmful to crops.

Properties of Water & Membrane Function
Dr. Isley (a.k.a. Poison Ivy) is teaching a master class on botany. Explain to her the
following concepts so that she will keep her promise to release Batman and Robin
from captivity!
Part 1: Plants absorb water through special cells in their roots. For the water to enter
the root cells, does the water need to be hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic to the
inside of the cell? Briefly explain your reasoning?
Part 2: Based on your answer in Part 1, would there be more hydration shells in the
extracellular (surrounding) water or inside of the root cells? (one word answer)
Part 3: First, explain why water is a polar molecule. Then, discuss how the polar
nature of water allows it to form hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules and how
this relates to the ability for water to form hydration shells.
1. Channel proteins used for the bulk passage of water molecules across the cell membrane?2. The tonicity of the extracellular fluid that maintains the turgid appearance of plant cells?3. The tonicity of the extracellular environment causing plasmolysis of plant cells?4. Plant cells are said to be flaccid in this type of cellular environment or solution?
This is from osmosis in plant cells

A) If the potato cells were hypotonic to the surrounding solution, the surrounding solution itself would be what to the potato cells (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic)? B) Were the potato cells submerged in water with no salt hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic to the surrounding environment? C) Were the potato cells submerged in 5 g/100mL salt solution hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic to the surrounding environment? D) Look at your graph. At approximately what concentration of salt solution would the potato cells have likely been isotonic with the surrounding solution?

It is placed into a solution containing a 12% percent salt concentration. What will happen to the plant cell?* Water will move out of the plant cell, causing it to shrivel. Water will move into the plant cell, causing it to swell and burst. Water will move into the plant cell, causing it to shrivel. Water will move out of the plant cell, causing it to swell and burst.arrow_forwardSOLUTE EGG WATER MEMBRANE Figure 1. Consider figure 1. Predict how water will move across the membrane. Water will move into the cell to where there is a higher solute concentration. Water will move out of the cell to where there is a lower solute concentration. Water will move into the cell to where there is a lower solute concentration. The cell and solution are in equilibrium, so water will move both directions equally. 76 F Partly sunny arch O O O Oarrow_forward

Which of these is a requirement for osmosis to occur? Water must flow from low to high water potential. Only within plant cells is pressure required. Temperature must be above 30 C. There must be a semipermeable membrane.arrow_forward
