When cells are submerged in a hypertonic solution the salt concentration inside the cells is than the salt concentration outside the cells. This causes water to the cells.?
As water molecules are smaller than either Sodium or Chlorine molecules, osmosis is favoured in their leaving the cell into the salt solution. Therefore a living cell shrinks in salt solution.
What happens to your cells when you drink a lot of salt water?
You become dehydrated- water leaves the cells trying to dilute the salt water.
What are bad cells?
"Bad cells" could refer to cancer cells, which are abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and can invade surrounding tissues. These cells can form tumors and impact the functioning of normal cells in the body.
Does salt make you weak?
No. In fact, salt is necessary for proper functioning of the cells.
What was the effect of the salt solution to the cells of the rhoeo discolor leaf?
The salt solution likely caused the cells of the Rhoeo discolor leaf to undergo plasmolysis, where water leaves the cells due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This can lead to the cells shrinking and the leaf wilting or shrinking in size.
Which part of a tube worms cells keeps excess salt from entering the cells?
to maintain a stable environment
Why is it bad to drink saltwater when you are shipwrecked?
The salt in the water sucks all of the water out of your cells & your cells will shrivel up and die. (cells like to be at equilibrium with their surroundings so the concentration of salt outside of the cell makes the cell try to equalize and thus loses all of its water.)
How does salt water affect the plant growth?
The higher the amount of salt in the soil outside of the plant cells causes water to move outside of the plant cells to try and equalize the all the concentration. Root cells die and, if bad enough, the plant will die. The damage that the salt water gives, makes the plant get a burnt look,often on the leaf edges first.
When does salt go bad?
Salt never goes bad.
Why is passing salt bad luck?

Why is salt bad for us?
Salt isn't bad for you, certain amounts of salt can be. If you eat to much salt it can relate to other illnesses and can cause severe blood clots :(
What happens to Carrot cells in salt water?
Carrot cells placed in salt water will lose water due to osmosis, causing them to shrink and become wilted. The high concentration of salt in the water creates a hypertonic environment, leading to water leaving the carrot cells to try to balance the salt concentration.
What happens to plant cells when you put salt water on them?
When plant cells are exposed to salt water, water moves out of the cells through osmosis, causing the cells to lose turgor pressure and shrink. This process is known as plasmolysis. Continued exposure to salt water can eventually lead to the death of the plant cells.
