Question 9

Question
A plant cell is placed in a HYPERTONIC solution, what will most likely happen to the cell?
Answer
  • salt moves out of the cell causing it to shrink
  • salt moves into the cell causing it to burst
  • water moves into the cell causing it to burst.
  • water moves out of the cell causing it to shrink.
