Osmosis works for any type of cell. Because of a lower concentration of solute inside the cell then out, the water would rush to where the solute is in an attempt to make it even. It would retain its shape because of its cell wall making it rigid which is absent in animal cells which is prone to swelling and making it burst.
if the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell , meaning that the outside solution is very dilute , the cell will gain water by osmosis . such a solution is hypotonic solution.
Placing plant cells into hypotonic solution causes the osmotic pressure to increase. Placing an animal cell in a hypotonic solution will cause water to move into the cell.
When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.
if a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water will enter inside the cell
The plant cell absorbs the water from the solution. hence, the cell swells and bursts.
it will retain its shape because of it cellwall making it rigid.
Plasmolysis
What will happen
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the osmotic pressure tends to increase as the water in the cells moves to a place elevated in solute concentration. The osmotic pressure is the chief cause of support in numerous plants.
The animal cell is in an isotonic solution, and the plant cell is in a hypotonic solution
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).
I believe plant cells prefer a hypotonic solution.
The cell wall prevents the plant cell from bursting.
the plant cell shrinks and this is because concentration is high in the solution and less in plant cell
When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid

As you know,distilled water is a kind of hypotonic solution which means it comprises more water.If you place an animal cell into an hypotonic solution,the cell swells and finally becomes burst because of not having a rigid cell wall.Nevertheless,if you place a plant cell an hypotonic solution,it can resist the osmotic pressure due to having a rigid cell wall.As,cell wall serves turgor pressure,it assists cell not to swell and burst

When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water - and a hypotonic solution means it expands. a plant cell sap has a lower water potential causing the water to enter the cell - it does not fight osmosis, it works with it.
