Question

What will happen to a plant cell if it is kept in hypertonic solution, hypotonic solution and isotonic solutions (state the change taking place in a plant cell and give reason for the same) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

If a plant cell is kept in a hypertonic solution then the plant cell loses water and becomes plasmolysed because of osmosis.

If a plant cell is kept in a hypotonic solution then the plant cell gains water and becomes turgid because of osmosis.

when kept in isotonic solutions, there is no change in the size.
