Hypertonic solution: higher concentration outside of cell = lower water potential = water exits cell, cell shrink (crenated-animal cell, flaccid/plasmolysed-plant cell)
Hypotonic solution: lower concentration outside cell =higher water potential = water enters cell, cell swell (animal cell - burst,plant cell - turgid)
ATP fuels the primary active transport pump for Sodium and Potassium. The pump maintains a positive voltage on the exterior of the cell and negative on the interior.
Question 8-
(a) move out of the cell
(b) cell would shrink
(c) hypertonic
Queston 9-
(a) move into the cell
(b) cell would swell
(c) hypotonic
It is an hydrophilic substance....<span>Substances that have charge or polarity are </span>hydrophilic<span>, and are likely to dissolve because they have either full or partial charge areas to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.</span>
