Question
Chapter 4.5, Problem 3MC
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.

what happens when you place a plant cell in a hypotonic solution? Hypertonic solution?
A cell is moved from its normal environment in a freshwater river and is suddenly
placed into the ocean. What would be the effect of this change in environment on
the cell?
O 1) It would shrivel because it would lose water.
O 2) It would shrivel because it is responding to a hypotonic environment.
O 3) It would swell because it is experiencing a hypertonic environment.
O 4) It would swell because it would gain water.
O 5) Nothing would happen to the cell.
Give reason why a plant cell is kept in hypertonic solution it becomes flaccid.

You scooped a cup of urea and placed it around the base of the plant and watered it after. The next day you noticed that the plant wilted and eventually die. What could have explained the death of the potted plant? O The plant was exposed to hypotonic solution making the plant turgid. O The plant was exposed to hypertonic solution making the water escaped the plant cells. O The plant was exposed to hypotonic solution making the plant plasmolyzed. The plant was exposed to hypertonic solution making too much water entered the cells.arrow_forward
