examples each related to each situation.
Answers
Explanation:
HYPERTONIC ( PLASMOLYZED) :-
Some real-life examples of Plasmolysis are: Shrinkage of vegetables in hypertonic conditions. Blood cell shrinks when they are placed in the hypertonic conditions. During extreme coastal flooding, ocean water deposits salt onto land.
ISOTONIC ( FLACCID ) :-
The definition of flaccid is something that is soft, limp or drooping. When your hand is hanging limply and loosely, this is an example of a time when your hand would be described as flaccid. Lacking firmness; hanging limply.
HYPOTONIC ( TURGID ) :-
The definition of turgid is something swollen or bloated, or language or style that is designed to show-off. When your stomach is bloated and swollen, this is an example of a situation where it would be described as a turgid stomach.
Situation 1 :
i) Shrinkage of vegetables in hypertonic conditions.
ii) Blood cell shrinks when they are placed in the hypertonic conditions.
Situation 2 :
i) (general) weak; soft; lax; lacking vigor;
ii) (botany) of a plant cell in an isotonic solution such that the plasma membrane is not pressed tightly against the cell wall, and therefore, is neither swollen (turgid) nor plasmolyzed.
Situation 3 Idk, sorry
