The cells would lose water and shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the
concentration of solute is higher than water in a cell. With this, there is a
net movement of water from inside to outside initiating water to lose from the
cytoplasm and vacuole causing the cell to shrink due to osmosis and achieve
equilibrium.
This process is applied in food preservation where microbial cells will
be dehydrated in a hypertonic environment, making them malfunction and preventing
them to cause food spoilage.
<span>If cells are placed in a hypertonic solution containing a solute to which the membrane is impermeable, what could happen? a.the cells will lose water and shrink. b.the cells will shrink at first, but will later reach equilibrium with the surrounding solution and return to their original condition. c.the cells will show no change due to diffusion of both solute and solvent. d.the cells will swell and ultimately bu</span>
I just answered this question from a different person but I like helping with science. This is from the water's breeze or air currents. This makes the climate mild while the inland is more extreme because it does not have the breeze. Hopefully this helps :D
Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.
