Question

A cell kept in a certain solution bursts after some time . comment upon the type of solution

Answer 1

The solution is Hypotonic. This means the solution outside has a higher concentration of water than the fluids inside the cell. As a result, water molecules from the outside solution enter the cell through osmosis, specifically endosmosis. The cell slowly becomes fully distended and turgid, and a point comes when the cell bursts because it cannot withstand the turgor pressure anymore.

Answer 2

Answer:

The solution is Hypotonic. This means the solution outside has a higher concentration of water than the fluids inside the cell. ... The cell slowly becomes fully distended and turgid, and a point comes when the cell bursts because it cannot withstand the turgor pressure anymore.

We know that water or solutes move from higher concentration to lower concentration...

Same happens when a cell is kept in a hypertonic solution.. The solute outside moves inside of the cell leading to the swelling up of the cell, thus a cell burst.
