Question

plant cell shrinks when kept in a hypertonic solution. Give reason

Answer 1

If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cell wall and the membrane and making the plant cell shrink and crumple.

hope it will help u..

Answer 2

Answer:

water move from lower concentrations to higher concentrations

as plant cell kept in higher concentration(hypertonic) so water from cell move out and make cell shrink
