Question

What Happens When We Put a Cell in Sugar or Salt Solution?

that question was of 3 marks

Answer 1

If we place a cell in hyper tonic solution like in sugar solution, the cell will shrink. It is because the movement of water takes place from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration i.e from inside cell to outside in the sugar solution to attain equilibrium. It results in the shrinkage of cell.
