what will happen if you put an animal or plant cell in dilute solution of sugar or salt prepared in water |
|
Answer» The cell will become turgidExplanation:The cell sap inside the plant cell is hyperconcentrated solution, i.e., it has a higher solute concentration than the solvent concentration. In the OUTSIDE, the DILUTE solution of sugar is hypoconcentrated. The cell membrane is selectively PERMEABLE. Thus, endosmosis TAKES place and the water moves in the cell sap and the cell becomes turgid. |
