Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from the region of their higher concentration to the region of their lower 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 (bottom panel) 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

movement of a solvent (such as water) through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane.
