Question

state the fate of a living cell in hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solution​

Answer 1

in hypotonic cell gain water

in isotonic cell neither gain nor lose water

in hypertonic cell loses water

Answer 2

HEY MATE!! HERE'S YOUR ANSWER!

Hypotonic solution-

As we know in Hypotonic solution the quantity of solvent( water) is more as compared to the solute, So as there is difference in the concentration of water in the cell and outside the cell, by osmosis , the water will move inside the cell ( lower concentration) from outside the cell ( higher concentration) and the cell will swell up.

Hypertonic solution-

In this kind of the solution, the quantity of solvent is less as compared to the solute, so again due concentration difference in the cell and outside the cell, osmosis will take place but this time, water from inside the cell( higher concentration) will move outside the cell (lower concentration) and the cell will shrink.

This kind of cell is called plasmolysed cell.

Isotonic solution-

In isotonic solution, the quantity of solute and solvent is equal as compared to cell.. So, no change will take place in the cell.
