Answer:

when Isolated plant cells placed in a dilute solution or water will take in water by osmosis. Root hair cells, if the soil is wet or moist, will also take up water by osmosis. Leaf cells of land plants, unless it is raining or the humidity is high, will have a tendency to lose water.

Plant cells have a strong cellulose cell wall outside the cell membrane. The cell wall is fully permeable to all molecules and supports the cell and stops it bursting when it gains water by osmosis.

Answer:

Isolated plant cells placed in a dilute solution or water will take in water by osmosis. ... The cell wall is fully permeable to all molecules and supports the cell and stops it bursting when it gains water by osmosis.

Explanation:

Due to the rigidity of the cell walls, plant cells do not burst rather gets swollen when placed in a very dilute external medium. As it is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell and even the cytoplasm in the cell forces the cell walls to rupture, but due to its rigidity, it does not burst out.
