Question

What will happen when a eukaryotic cell is placed in a hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solution? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

If we put eukaryotic cell in hypotonic solution the cell would swell up due to endosmosis because hypotonic solution has less solute and more water than another solution.

If we put eukaryotic cell in in isotonic solution the cell will remain of the same size because the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane and therefore , there is no net water movement and hence, no change in the size of the cell.

If we put eukaryotic cell in in hypertonic solution the cell will shrink due to exosmosis because it has a higher solute concentration on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell.

hope it will help you

Answer 2

Answer:

So when eukaryotic cell is kept in hypotonic solution, the water has a tendency to move inside the cell due to endosmosis. As water flows inside the cell the cell will burst due to lack of cell wall in animal cell. 3. Isotonic solution is the one which has same concentration of solute on both side of the cell.
