Question

If the sugar concentration is > 0.01%, it is called ______________, where a concentration is < 0.01%, the cell is ______________. Of an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, it would ______________, whereas an animals cell places in a hypotonic solution would __________________.

Answer 1

If the sugar concentration is > 0.01%, it is called HYPERTONIC, where a concentration is < 0.01%, the cell is HYPOTONIC. Of an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, it would CRENATE, whereas an animals cell places in a hypotonic solution would SWELL.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the chemiosmotic theory states, two different concentrations separated by a semi-permeable membrane (as the cell membrane) will try to equilibrate their concentrations either, by water movements or by solute movements. In this case, we will asume that the cell membran only let the water moves.

An hypotonic solution means that the solution contains lees solutes than the cell interior. Then the water will try to enter into the cell.

An hypertonic solution means that the solution contains more solutes than the cell interior. Then the water will try to go out the cell.
