Question

What wll happen if we will keep a plant cell or animal cell in 1. hypotonic solution 2. hypertonic solution 3. istonic solution?

Answer 1

1.A plant cell in hypotonic solution would become turgid in nature because in a hypotonic solution the solvent conc. Inside the cell is less than outside of the plasma membrane resulting in turgidity
2. A plant cell in hypertonic solution word become plasmolysed or shrivelled because the solvent conc. Is greater in side the cell .
3. A plant cell in isotonic solution will remain flaccid because the solvent concentration outside the cell and inside the cell remains equal
