Question

3. What happens when animal / plant cell is put in aqueous hypotonic solution? A. Water enters the cell B. Cell loses water C. Water regulation takes place by vacuoles D. Digestion takes place by food vacuoles ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tapwater and pure water are hypotonic. A single animal cell ( like a red blood cell) placed in a hypotonic solution will fill up with water and then burst. ... Plant cells have a cell wall around the outside than stops them from bursting, so a plant cell will swell up in a hypotonic solution, but will not burst.
