Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate here's the answer.... hope it helps......

Explanation:

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 takes place. 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 onion peel possess cell wall which makes it resistant to the bursting due to swelling caused by endosmosis. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

(b) RBC will burst easily while cells of onion peel will resist the busting to some extent.

Explanation:

The the RBC if kept in hypotonic solution will burst due to lack of cell wall. The onion peel cells will not burst due to presence of cell wall.
