Summary Introduction
To determine:
What would happen to plant cell in a hypertonic environment.
Introduction:
Hyper means ‘more or over” so in hypertonic solution concentration of solute is higher outside the cell as compared to inside. In hypertonic condition, the cell loses its solute and shrink.
