Answer 1

Answer: Yes the cell becomes plasmolysed when kept in hypertonic sol.

Explanation:

Hypertonic sol. is the sol. which is with highly concentrated solute along with solvent .

So when cell is kept in it water potential/water quantity is more in cell than Hypertonic sol. Therefore water moves from cell to Hypertonic sol {Water moves from Higher concentration to lower concentration}
