Question

1.What will likely happen if an animal cell and a plant cell are placed in a sugar solution that has water concentration more than that of the animal cell and the plant cell?
(a)Both the animal and plant cell will burst
. (b)Both the animal and plant cell will swell.
(c)Animal cell will swell while the plant cell will burst.
(d)Animal cell will burst while the plant cell will swell.​

Answer 1

Answer is option b.

Explanation:

Initially in sugar solution water concentration is more than the animal cell.

• just remember the fact that water always moves from higher concentration to lower concentration means from the place where the amount of water is more to the place where amount of water is less.

or you can also understand is as water Always move towards higher concentration of solute.

in the given question sugar solution have more water than plant and animal cell so when we put the plant and animal cell in the sugar solution containing more water , it will start flowing/entering the plant and animal cell because of which both the cells will Swell.
