Explain what will happen to a plant cell if it is kept in a solution having higher water potential. |
|
Answer» A hypotonic solution has higher water potential. When a plant cell is placed in hypotonic solution, the cell gains water and thus gains turgor pressure. This leads to the cell getting swollen. But the rigidity of the cell wall, prevents the cell from bursting. |
