more solutes = less osmotic pressure = decreased turgor pressure
A hypertonic solution does shrink. It is when the osmotic pressure is greater than the solution that is within it.
A hypertonic Solution. a solution that has a greater concentration of water than the cell content is hypotonic, meaning there is less concentration of water inside the cell, which results in an increase or an expansion of the cell.
Let us put hypotonic into the mix. Hyper is more, hypo is less so that puts -tonic right in the middle, as a reference point. That reference point is also called equilibrium. When a solution contains more solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypertonic, and when a solution has dissolved in it less than the amount of solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypotonic.
Hypertonic is when you have a high concentration of solute relative to the solvent. For example, salt water is a hypertonic solution with vast amounts of sodium, chlorine, potassium, and iodine dissolved in water.
When dealing with cells and their surrounding environment, if the outside of the cell is hypertonic (more salty), water will move out of the cell. This is an effort for the concentration of the salt to even out. The cell will shrink as a result.
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
a solution that has a higher osmotic pressure than another solution to which it is compared
AN increase n pressure, an increase in gas concentration in the solution
A hypertonic solution does shrink. It is when the osmotic pressure is greater than the solution that is within it.
1. Vapor pressure lowering: the decrease in vapor pressure with increasing the number of solute molecules in solution. 2. Boiling point elevation: the increase in boiling point with increasing number of solute molecules in solution. 3. Freezing point depression: the decrease in freezing point with increasing number of solute molecules in solution. 4. Osmotic pressure
Hypertonic means increased pressure or tone. This solution is hypertonic compared to that one.
