Why do dry apricots placed in salt solution do not swell while they do so when kept in water?
Dry apricots placed in a salt solution do not swell because the salt solution has a higher osmotic pressure than the apricot cells, preventing water from entering them. On the other hand, when placed in water, the apricots swell because water moves into the cells due to osmosis, balancing the concentration of solutes on both sides of the cell membrane.
Do grapes swell after being placed in salt water for a hour?
No
What happen dry apricots are left for sometimes in pure water and later transferred to sugar solution?
first they will swell up due to endosmosis
What can happen if a cell placed in pure water 100 percent?
If a cell is placed in pure water, the water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. This process is known as cytolysis and can result in cell death.
What happens to a prune when placed in distilled water does it shrink swell or stay the same and why?
When a prune is placed in distilled water, it will swell. This is because distilled water has a higher concentration of water molecules compared to the prune, causing water to move into the prune through osmosis, resulting in swelling as the prune absorbs water.
What would happen if you placed a normal body cell into fresh water?
it cause it to swell
Why does water enter a cell that is placed in a hypotonic solution?
water enters a cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell.

Why do raisins swell when kept in water?
Raisins are just dried grapes, so when raisins are kept in water they re-absorb liquid (that they lost in the drying process). They swell to accommodate the new liquid.
What would happen if a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
Why does a cell placed in hypotonic solution swell?
A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell because the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. Water will move from the solution into the cell to equalize the concentration, causing the cell to expand and potentially burst.
A red blood cell placed in distilled water will swell and burst due to the diffusion of what?
3. water from the blood cell into its environment
