If an animal cell is placed in hypertonic solution what happens to the cell

A solution is hypertonic to a cell if it has a higher solute (dissolved substance) concentration than the cell does. As a result, it also has a lower concentration of water than the cell does. Cell membranes and plant cell walls are semipermeable barriers, which means that certain molecules can diffuse through them, while other molecules can not.

The animal cell would shrink, because there is more solute outside of the cell. That would cause the water within the cell to go outside of the cell.

Hey there!

This is in contrast to physiology, which deals primarily with function. Morphology is a branch of life science dealing with the study of gross structure of an organism or taxon and its component parts.

Which ions are important for establishing the resting potential in neurons?

tia_tia [17]

Sodium, potassium, chloride and calcium ions are important for establishing the resting potential of the cell. The sodium-potassium gradient is maintained by a pump which transports 2 potassium inside the cell and 3 sodium ions outside the cell.

An omnivore eats both plants and animals!

Badgers, pandas, raccoons, and dogs are examples of omnivores I think!
