When a cell from flaccid plant tissue is placed into a hypotonic solution:
a.
The cytoplasm will shrink and plasmolysis will occur
b.
Net water movement will be into the plant cell
c.
Lysosomes will remove the excess water, protecting the cell
d.
No net water movement will occur
e.
The plant cell will break open (lyse)
In farming communities, there is a concern that over irrigation can leech nutrients out of the soil, flood a farm area, and add salt to the soil in a process called salinization. The overall negative results are that some plants cannot germinate (grow from seed) and other adult or growing plants will die. Explain what is happening on the cell level, in regards to transport across the cell membrane, why seeds might not germinate, and why adult plants might die.
Which of the following is true of the water potential of a healthy living plant cell? ( SELECT ALL THAT APPLY) A. It has a higher solute potential (lower solute concentration) than the extracellular environment B. It is under negative pressure C. It has a lower solute potential (high solute concentration) than the extracellular enviroment D. It is under positive pressure E. It has a pressure potential equal to zero

What would happen if you place the roots of this plant in a 0.1 M solution of sucrose (water potential is -0.23 MPa)?
