Question

) If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution, what will happen to each of them? Explain the reason for your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hii

When the cells are kept in a hypotonic solution, endosmosis occur, i.e., inward movement of water. ... The RBCs burst easily because they are animal cells and do not have cell wall. The onion peel possess cell wall which makes it resistant to bursting due to swelling caused by endosmosis.

Answer 2

Answer:

If the cells of onion peel and RBCs are separately kept in hypotonic solution, both the cells will swell. RBCs will burst easily while cells of onion peel will resist the bursting to some extent. ... But due to the presence of cell wall, onion peel will not burst.
