Question

What happens to a cell when placed in the following
Hypotonic
Isotonic
Hypotonic
Isotonic

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

If a cell is placed in an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. ... When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.

Answer 2

when the cell is kept on hypotonic solutions it swells as the concentration of water outside the cell is more as campared inside the cell

when cell is dipped in hypertonic solution it shrinks because the concentration of water is more inside the cell and the cell losses water

when cell is kept in isotonic solution it has no change as concentration is same both places
