Question

plant cell shrinks when kept in hypertonic solution
give reason for your answer​

Answer 1

HEY

$<b>If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cellloses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where theprotoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cell wall and themembrane and making the plant cell shrink and crumple.</b>$

Answer 2

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
