If a cell has a normal osmotic pressure of 4500 mmhg and is placed into a solution with an osmotic pressure of 3500 mmhg. What will happen to the cell?

Respuesta :

The cell will lose water and its osmotic pressure will decrease. If a cell  has a normal osmotic pressure of 4500 mm Hg and is placed into a solution with an osmotic pressure of 3500 mm Hg

What is osmosis?

The pressure created by a liquid or solvent diffusing through a membrane is known as osmotic pressure.

What is osmotic pressure?

Osmotic pressure is the lowest amount of pressure that must be applied to a solution in order to stop solvent molecules from passing through a semipermeable membrane (osmosis). Its existence is a collaborative property that is reliant on the quantity of solute particles in the solution.

Example:

You are mixing salt water into a solution. The mixture will be made up of water and salt (solute) (solvent).Effects of osmotic pressure:

The membrane separating the two solutions allows the solvent to go from the diluted to the more concentrated solution.
