Question

Explain what happens when a drop of concentrated sugar solution is placed on a rheo leaf mounted on a glass slide. Name this phenomenon? Would the same happen if rheo leaf was boiled before mounting? Give reason.

Answer 1

Answer:

concentrared sugar solution is called hypertoic solution(more or high concentration).if a cell is placed in such a solution the water will move out of the cell i.e exosmosis takes place. the protoplasm will shrink.therefore it is called plasmosis.

if the rheo leaves kept in boiled water,the plant cell would be killed and if we p[ut concentrated sugar solution on it nothing happens because the cell is dead and no protoplasm will takes place.

hope it helps
