Question

If an plant cell is placed into a solution whose concentration of dissolved substances is higher than that inside the cell_____



a.The cell will swell

b.The cell will shrink

c.Cell will burst

d.No changes

​

Answer 1

Answer:

it will shrink

Explanation:

the hyper tonic solution is highly concentrated with solute molecules than the cell and therefore due to the concentration  gradient existing between the two solutions the cell loses water by osmosis and it shrinks

Answer 2

Answer:

b

Explanation:

A hypertonic solution has increased solute, and a net movement of water outside causing the cell to shrink. A hypotonic solution has decreased solute concentration, and a net movement of water inside the cell, causing swelling or breakage.
