Question

i) What do you mean by hypotonic solution? What will happen if we put an animal cell or a plant cell in
hypotonic ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

A hypotonic solution is a solution that has a lower solute concentration compared to another solution. if we put an animal cell or a plant cell in the hypotonic solution the water will enter the cell with the process of endosmosis and the cell will enlarge and can even burst.

Explanation:

This is because  the concentration of solute is more in case of cell and less in case of the hypotonic solution so the process of endosmosis will occur and the cell gets enlarge and can even burst out due to extreme pressure.
