Question

what happens to the plant cell when put in hypertonic,hypotonic and isotonic solution explain

Answer 1

Hii friend,

=> WHEN PUT IN A HYPOTONIC SOLUTION:

The plant cell swells up. This is because the cell surrounding has more water content and thus it is very dilute, so the water enters the cell.

=> WHEN PUT IN AN ISOTONIC SOLUTION:

The plant cell does not show any change. This is because the nature of content in the cell and surrounding the cell is the same.

=> WHEN PUT IN A HYPERTONIC SOLUTION:

The plant cell shrinks in size. This is because, the content in the cell is concentrated than the surrounding, so it comes out of the cell through diffusion.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU :)
