Question

Ritika observed onion peel cells in the lab and could view the cell wall, cytoplasm

and nucleus clearly. Suddenly her friend spilled a few drops of salty water on the slide

having onion peel cells.She observes some changes in the cells after sometime



c. Would there be similar changes observed ,if she had prepared a slide of cheek

cells​

Answer 1

Answer:

ye sthe change will be similar because both are prokaryotic cells

Answer 2

Answer:

• The cells of onion peel are exposed to a hypertonic solution as the concentrated salt solution is injected.
• The water travels towards the outside until an equilibrium concentration is established because the concentrated salt solution is hypertonic because its salt concentration is larger than that of the cells in the onion peel.
• Exosmosis is the name of the process that causes water to migrate outside.
• When an animal cell (cheek cell) is kept in hypertonic solution, the cell will shrink as the water tends to move from lower concentration to higher concentration.

Therefore, similar changes will be observed in both plant and animal (cheek) cell.
