Question

If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution, what among
the following will take place? Explain the reason for your answer
(a) Both the cells will swell.
(b) RBC will burst easily while cells of onion peel will extent.
(c) Both (a) and (b) are correct.
(d) RBC and onion peel cells will behave similarly

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) The solution with higher concentration of water as  compared to the cell is termed as hypotonic solution.  When the cells are kept   in a hypotonic solution endosmosis occurs i.e., the inward movement of water This results in the swelling up of cells. When kept in hypotonic solution the RBCs burst easily because they are animal cells and do not possess cell wall, while the     RBC burst when kept in onion peel possess cell wall which makes it resistant to the bursting due to swelling caused by endosmosis. Therefore, option (c) is correct.
