Question

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

Answer 1

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 onion peel possess cell wall which makes it resistant to bursting due to swelling caused by endosmosis. Therefore, option D is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

RBC and onion peel cells will behave similarly. Answer: ... 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
