Question

a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen will the cell burst why or why not?for class 9

Answer 1

When placed in a hypotonic solution, the water will enter the cell from outside solution.

No, the cell won't burst due to presence of a cell wall outside the plant cell.
if it would've been an animal cell, it might have bursted.

hope this helps. :)

Answer 2

No the plant cell will not burst .
The cell wall will exert equal pressure on the cell components which are swollen due to water gain.This way cell wall helps cell to withstand very dilute solution.
Hope it helps .
I am in class 9 too.
