Question

what happen when a Plant cell and Animal cell is kept in hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic medium separately ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1.If you keep the cells in a hypertonic solution then the cell will gain water by the process of osmosis and will result in the swelling up of cell as the solution is very dilute.

2. if the medium has exactly same concentration of a solution, there will be no net movement of the solution across the cell membrane such a solution is known as isotonic solution. as there is no movement of solution the cell will remain of the same size.

3. of the medium has a lower concentration of water than the cell, meaning that it is a very concentrated solution, the cell will lose water by the process of osmosis. such a solution is known as hypertonic solution. as more water leaves from the cell the cell will ultimately shrink
