Question

What will happen when an animal cell is placed in-
(A) hypotonic solution
(B) hypertonic solution

Answer 1

when an animal cell will be place in hypotonic solution it's water contents will come into the solution and eventually it will collapse and it will be placed in hypertonic solution it will gain more than enough water contents and eventually it will swell
Hope it helps you

Answer 2

Heya !!!!

Here's your answer !!!

A) cell kept in hypotonic solution :

➡When an animal cell is placed in hypotonic solution the cell swells up due to the gain of water through the process of ENDOSMOSIS via plasma membrane....

➡As the concentration of the solution is less than that of the cell , the water from the solution moves into the cell.. hence, the cell swells up...

B) Cell kept in hypertonic solution :

➡When an animal cell is placed in hypertonic solution the cell shrinks due to the loss of water through the process EXOSMOSIS via plasma membrane...

➡As the concentration of the solution is Higher than that of the cell, the water from the cell moves outside and loss the water...hence, the cell shrinks....
