Question

6.Assertion: a cell kept in isotonic solution increases in due to endosmosis. Reason: the movement of water from low concentrated solution to high concentrated solutions is called as osmosis. *​

Answer 1

Answer:

The concentration of water molecules in surrounding medium is higher than water molecules concentration in the cell.

The cell swells up when endosmosis occurs. Endosmosis is a process in which the water molecules move from outside to the inside of the cell through the cell membrane. This occurs when the solution is hypotonic, i.e., the cell has a lower solute concentration than the surrounding medium.
