Question

Assertion: A plant shrinks in hypertonic solution
Reason: In hypertonic solution, water moves out of cell due to plasmolysis.

Answer 1

Answer:

yes indeed the plant shrink in hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

In a hypersonic solution there is less water content as there is concentration of a substance in it which is more than the volume of water. when the plant is immersed in this solution alone it starts to shrink as osmosis occur. this movement of water molecules is moving from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration in this case from the plant to the solution is therefore exosmosic as occurred. the phenomenon called plasmolysis is also observed when the water of the plant cell moves out of the plant to the solution ,and contraction of cell organelles away from the rigid cell wall ....
