When a plant cell is placed in a high salt solution, it will experience plasmolysis, where water leaves the cell due to the higher concentration of salts outside the cell. In the potato, the water in the cup will move into the potato by osmosis to try to balance the salt concentration. This process demonstrates the principles of diffusion, where molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis, where water moves across a semipermeable membrane to equalize concentration.
A potato in salt water is hypotonic. This is because the salt water has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the potato cells, causing water to move out of the potato cells, leading to the cell shrinking.
none. a cytoplasm is IN A CELL. a cell is NOT IN A CYTOPLASM.
All cell have cytoplasm.
Glycolysis occurs throughout the cytoplasm of the cell.

Isotonic concentration
A solution that has the same osmotic concentration as a cell's cytoplasm is isotonic. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell, leading to no net movement of water into or out of the cell. This allows the cell to maintain its shape and function properly.

In the potato, the water in the cup will move into the potato by osmosis to try to balance the salt concentration.

Oxygen moves in the cytoplasm of a root hair cell through simple diffusion. This process involves the movement of oxygen molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis occurs when water moves out of the cytoplasm due to a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This causes the cytoplasm to lose water and shrink, ultimately leading to cell dehydration and potential damage.
The cell will undergo osmosis, with water moving out of the cell to dilute the higher concentration of salt outside. This will cause the cell to shrink as water leaves the cytoplasm to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
The shrinkage of cytoplasm within a cell from diffusion is known as crenation. This occurs when water moves out of the cell due to a higher solute concentration outside the cell, leading to the cell shrinking and potentially losing its functionality.
If you place the cell in a hypertonic solution (a solution with a higher concentration of salt than the cell) the cell membrane would shrink.
This cell would be described as hypotonic. That means the higher osmotic pressure is in the cell and it is swollen because water is going down its concentration gradient into the cell and is less concentrated out side the cell.
A potato in salt water is hypotonic. This is because the salt water has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the potato cells, causing water to move out of the potato cells, leading to the cell shrinking.
When a potato is placed in water, the water concentration outside the potato cells is higher than inside. This creates a concentration gradient that drives water molecules into the potato cells through osmosis, causing the cells to swell and the potato to become turgid. The cell wall of the potato cells helps maintain the shape and prevents them from bursting.
