What can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain
it swells and burst
when raisins are placed in concentrated solution of sugarthen they will swell up
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
Hypotonic Solution
Nothing would happen to the plant. It will have a normal growth provided other parameters are normal.
hypotonic solution
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the solution it is being compared to. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure.
"hypertonic"
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.
Hypotonic :) good luck on plato :D
