plz answer correctly.... ​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the water inside the cells is drawn out by osmosis. The vacuoles decrease in size. The cytoplasm also shrinks away from the cellulose cell wall and plasmolysis occurs. This causes a lack of structure for the plant and causes it to wilt, or become flaccid.

Answer 2
