Define osmosis.what happens when a plant cell is put into a hypertonic medium ?? |
|
Answer» Osmosis is the the process of solvent moving from lower concentration to higher concentration. It requires a semi permeable membrane. When the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution water does moves out of the cell andnit gets shrinked Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.When a\xa0plant cell is placed in\xa0a solution that is\xa0hypertonic\xa0relative\xa0to\xa0the cytoplasm, water moves out of the\xa0cell\xa0and the\xa0cell\xa0shrinks. |
