Helpp! Would you please check over my answers for me? Thank you so muchhhh in advance!?

Question

Can you please check over thiss for me...Thank youuu...

Note: Elodea is a fresh water plant.
a) Elodea cells normally contain 1% salt and 99% water.
b) Tap water contains 1% salt and 99% water.
c) Salt water contains 6% salt and 94% water.
d) Salt water has a higher concentration of salt than fresh water or Elodea cells.

Answer the following questions using the information above about the cell in tap water:

1) What is the percentage of water outside the cell?- 99
2) What is the percentage of water inside the cell? -99
3) How do the percentages compare? - they are equal
4) WOuld the cell shape change once it was placed in the tap water? -no because the level inside the cell is equal to the level outside the cell

Please correct me if I am wrong...Thank youu!

Answer 1

Your answers seem fine to me.

Answer 2

a) sounds high to me. Google it.
b)tap water has much less salt than 1%,
c) sea water has the same % as the salt in our blood, and also Ringers solution. Salt water is only 0.9% salt, which is less than 1%. (in most seas (the dead sea has a much higher % of salt.)
d) yes (also elodea is a fresh water, higher plant, it is NOT a marine (salt water plant.)
1) what kind of water, fresh water or sea water?
2) this depends on the particular cell type. and the cell's constituents. (e.g. proteins, organelles (like the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, cell membranes, cytosol ptoteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids, etc. which are not water per-se).
3) Osmosis would tend to equalise the percentages inside and out. But most cells use energy to pump out water and/or mineral ions.which will change the %'s.
4) this is often correct but some cell types have unusual percentages of NaCl in their cytoplasm.
Marine fish often rise to the surface in rainstorms because the surface salt water is diluted. They do it to kill surface parasites because those organisms cannot tolerate the low saline water and water rushes in via osmosis, to dilute the higher saline concentrtion in those cells They swell and pop.

Answer 3

i'm basically surmising yet does no longer the cellular return to its unique length and shape as quickly as returned in faucet water as a results of opposite osmosis (#5)? if so, you may probable say that. additionally, your solutions could be written with the % sign, no longer a minus or unfavorable sign, ideal? Too, for #3, i might say the share of water interior the cellular replaced into 5% greater than...

Answer 4

Looks like a winner to me.
