After sweating through a long marathon, a runner decides to replenish their body fluids by drinking an amount of pure water that is equal to the volume of lost bodily fluids. Which of the following describes the most likely impact on the cells in the body of the run- ner as a result of this action? A B C D The cells will swell because they will become hypertonic relative to their normal solute concentration. The cells will shrivel up because they will become hypotonic relative to their normal solute concentration. The cells will swell because they will become hypotonic relative to their normal solute concentration. The cells will shrivel up because they will become hypertonic relative to their normal solute concentration.

The cytoplasm of a certain cell is composed of a solution that is 98% water, 2% solutes. Consider the solution shown in the beaker in this picture: FOOE OOS Foor solution. [Select] Cytoplasm is 98% water, 2% solutes. The solution in the beaker would be considered when compared to [Select] The plasma membrane is impermeable to solutes. Beaker solution is 98% water, 2% solutes the cell. We would expect that the cell would [Select] if it was placed in the would account for whatever changes might occur to the volume of the cytoplasm of the cell when it is placed in the solution.

A cell is placed in a solution and it swells and bursts.  Explain what happened using the words osmosis, solute, osmotic pressure, and hyper-, hypo- or -iso-tonic.

When a bacterial cell is placed in a hypotonic, environment, the cell wall restrains the pressure resulting from the greater osmolarity of the cytoplasm. (Use one word in the blank space. Spelling must be correct to earn the point. The word "osmotic" is NOT an answer that that will earn credit for this question; there is another word that is required.)

For a lab on diffusion and osmosis, where a egg yolk was placed in a cup water the following question asks Consider a scenario in which the size of an egg yolk remains unchanged after in water soaking for an hour. What are two possible explanations as to why this occurs? What would two reasons be for the yolk to be unchanged after a hour in water?

Which of the passive transport processes requires hydrostatic pressure to transport molecules across membranes in the body? Multiple Choice   Osmosis   Filtration   Facilitated diffusion   Pinocytosis   Diffusion

Which of the following best describes a hypotonic solution? a-There is a higher concentration of solute outside the cell than inside the cell b-There is a lower concentration of solute outside the cell than inside the cell c-The solute concentration both inside and outside the cell is equal d-Through osmosis, water will enter the cell causing it to swell

What is the independent variable of the experiment?

Statement 1: The direction of diffusion of a solute across a membrane is determined by its concentration gradient and always moves toward equilibrium. Statement 2: In passive transport, solutes move down the gradient from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration. A Both statements are true. Both statements are false. C) Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false. Statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is true.

If I have a higher concentration of water inside my cells , which is low concentration of solute inside the cells the makes my cell swell and it cause hypotonic. Is that true? I am confused having low concentration of solute inside not outside of the cell right? Is it
