Suppose the test tube contained plant cells instead of red blood cells what will happened if the cells were placed in water with very little salt?

Answer 1

the plant cell would shrivel up and die

Answer 2

If the plant cells were placed in water with very little salt, they would undergo a process known as plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cell membrane away from the cell wall due to water loss. This occurs because the water concentration outside the cells is higher than inside, causing water to move out of the cells, leading to wilting and potential cell damage.
