Question

(b)Why plant cells do not burst when placed in hypotonic
medium?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plant cells have a cell wall around the outside than stops them frombursting, so a plant cell will swell up in a hypotonic solution, but will not burst.

Answer 2

Answer:

Plant cells are enclosed by a rigid cell wall. When the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution , it takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. ... The pressure inside the cell rises until this internal pressure is equal to the pressure outside.
