Question

What will happen to cell when kept in hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic solution

Answer 1

Good evening

a cell kept in hypertonic solution will get shrinked.
a cell kept in hypotonic solution will get swelled.
a cell kept in isotonic solution won't have any change.


I hope this will help you

Answer 2

when the cell are kept in hypertonic solution then concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside. I.e. the cell will shrink.
if placed in hypotonic solution then the greatest concentration of water is outside the cell. I.e. the cell will swell.
whereas when placed in isotonic solution there would be no change. the exchange of water molecules in and out of the cell would be equal.
