Question

What happens when animal cell or plant cell disolve in salt or suger solution

Answer 1

Suppose we place an animal or a plant cell in a solution of sugar or salt in water. 


If the medium is hypotonic — a dilute solution, with a higher water concentration than the cell — the cell will gain water through osmosis. 
If the medium is isotonic — a solution with exactly the same water concentration as the cell — there will be no net movement of water across the cell membrane. 
If the medium is hypertonic — a concentrated solution, with a lower water concentration than the cell — the cell will lose water by osmosis.
