Question

If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution, what will happen to

each of them(a) and (b) both are correct​

Answer 1

ans

both are correct

Explanation:

When the cells are kept in a hypotonic solution, endosmosis occur, i.e., inward movement of water. This results in the swelling up of the cells. 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.
