Question

A plant cell when kept in a hypertonic solution shrinks. why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

because it is a type of solution in which water is coming from outside and it will make the plant cell turgid and then it will shrink

Answer 2

If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cell wall and the membrane and making the plant cell shrink.
