Question

What will happen if we keep a plant cell or animal cell in a i) Hypotonic solution ii) Hypertonic solution ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. In a hypotonic solution, the medium of the cell has higher water concentration than the inside of the cell. The water moves inside the cell through osmosis. The cell is likely to swell up.
2. In a hypertonic sokution, the medium has a lower water concentration than the inside of the cell, so the water leaves the cell through osmosis. The cell is likely to shrink.
