Question

What happens to an animal cell when it is placed in a very dilute external medium?
Why?

Answer 1

The animal cell is kept in dilute external medium that means hypotonic solution. Hypotonic solution: In this solution the solute concentration is lower than that of the cell fluid concentration. As a result, water moves into the cell from the surrounding medium through a cell membrane.
