Question

define Osmosis what would happen if we place a cell in a hypotonic solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from region of higher concentration to lower concentration.

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the cell will absorb water and becomes turgid

Answer 2

Osmosis is the movement of solvent from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

If placed in a hypotonic solution, water molecules will enter the cell, causing it to swell and burst. Plant cells become plasmolyzed in a hypertonic solution, but tend to do best in a hypotonic environment. Water is stored in the central vacuole of the plant cell.
