Question

What happen if we put animal cell or plant cellinto a solution of sugar or salt in water

Answer 1

Sugar and salt in water is an ionic solution. Thus when we put cell in the solution there is more ionic content then that of inside the cell. Thus there is a lower concentration of water outside and more inside the cell. Thus the water moves from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration from inside to outside the cell by the process of exosmosis. Water moves in both directions but more water leaves the cell as compared to that of entering inside. Therefore there is a loss of water in the cell and thus the cell shrink.

Answer 2

1. if the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell meaning that the outside solution is very dilute the cell will gain water by Osmosis search solution is known as hypotonic solution
2. if the medium is exactly the same water concentration as a cell there will be no net movement of water across the cell membrane such a solution is known as isotonic solution.
3. if the medium has a low concentration of water than the cell meaning that there is very concentrated solution the cell will lose water by Osmosis such a solution is known as hypertonic solution.
