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.
You can observe osmosis in plant cells by placing a plant cell in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution and observing any changes in cell size and shape due to the movement of water. Hypertonic solution will cause cell to shrink (plasmolysis) and hypotonic solution will cause cell to swell. You can use a microscope to observe these changes in plant cells during osmosis.
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution then plant cell gains water by osmosis there is swelling of the contents of the cell away from the cell wall ,this phenomenon is known as deplasmolyzis
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.
Any solution with more H2O than inside the cell will cause the cell to swell. Animal cells will burst under a lot of pressure, but plant cells will not, due to the presence of a cell well surrounding the cell. In other words, a hypotonic solution will cause a cell to swell, and a hypertonic solution will cause a cell to shrink. Hypo -> hyper
A change in cell volume that will occur when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution is that a cell will expand. Water will move from the solution into the cell. If enough water enters the cell the cell will expand and eventually burst.

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
You can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis if they swell or shrink. When plant cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and shrink. Conversely, when they are placed in a hypotonic solution, they gain water and swell. These changes in cell size indicate that osmosis is occurring.

When a plant cell is exposed to a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell via osmosis, causing it to swell. This influx of water increases turgor pressure, which is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall. As a result, the cell becomes turgid, providing structural support to the plant. This turgidity is essential for maintaining the plant's rigidity and overall health.
the plant cell shrinks and this is because concentration is high in the solution and less in plant cell
Placing a plant in a hypotonic solution will cause water to enter the plant cells through osmosis, as the concentration of solutes outside the cells is lower than inside. This influx of water will lead to increased turgor pressure, making the plant cells swell and the plant itself stand upright. If the solution is not too dilute, this can be beneficial, promoting growth and vitality. However, if the pressure becomes too great, it could potentially lead to cell damage or bursting.
Plants prefer to be in a hypotonic environment, where the surrounding solution has a lower solute concentration than the plant cells. This allows for water to flow into the plant cells through osmosis, maintaining turgor pressure and supporting cell structure and function. In a hypertonic environment, water would flow out of the plant cells, causing them to shrink and wilt.
A plant cell bursts in a hypotonic solution because water enters the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell. The increased water uptake in a hypotonic environment creates pressure on the cell wall, eventually leading to bursting.
Any solution with more H2O than inside the cell will cause the cell to swell. Animal cells will burst under a lot of pressure, but plant cells will not, due to the presence of a cell well surrounding the cell.
