Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1DCR
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The process that took place and its reason for occurrence when some cells are placed into a solution of unknown content.
Introduction:
In an experiment, when some cells are placed into a solution of unknown content, and then observed by microscope, the cells appear to be shrunken, and their plasma membrane appears to have attained a wrinkled shape.

Students have asked these similar questions
You are examining a cell from a crime scene using an electron microscope. It contains ribosomes, DNA, plasma membrane, cell wall, and mitochondria. What type of cell is it?
You are looking at a larger cell (approximately 50 micrometers) under a microscope, and see a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. What type of cell can you confirm you are observing?
what happens to cells if the solution surrounding them is hypertonic? shrink (crenate), burst (lyse), maintain their shape.
