Question

state the reason for the following plant cells srek when kept in hypertonic solution fast pls

Answer 1

A plant cell shrink after keeping it in a hypertonic solution because diffusion pressure deficit is more in the solution than in the cell since water always moves from less diffusion pressure deficit that is from cytoplasm of cell towards more.




hope this helps you

Answer 2

In hypertonic solution the concentration of SOLUTE is greater inside the cell and lower outside the cell.

so by the process of osmosis or diffusion the water is transferred from outside to inside (from higher concentration to lower concentration ). that's why the cells will shrink.
