Compare the cells kept in isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic solutions.

Define Hypotonic solution.

Differentiate between : Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions

Correct the statements. (a) Cells shrink in hypotonic solutions and swell in hypertonic solutions. (b) Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water is absorbed by living cells. (c) Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the symplast.

Statement 1: Plasmolysis is bursting of cell membrane when a cell is kept in a hypertonic solution. Statement 2: Hypertonic solution causes endosmosis.

In the given figures 'A' shows a cell in the normal state and 'B' shows the same cell after leaving it in a certain solution for a few minutes : Was the solution isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic in which the cell was kept ?

Give technical terms for the following: Movement of water molecules across the cell membrane from hypertonic to hypotonic solution.

A cell placed in hypertonic solution will :

What are isotonic solutions?

Select the correct answer out of the four available choices given under question : The space between the cell wall and plasma membrane in plasmolysed cell is filled with: (i) isotonic solution (ii) hypotonic solution (iii) hypertonic solution (iv) water

Differentiate between the following pairs on the basis of what is mentioned in brackets: Hypotonic solution and Hypertonic solution [condition of a plant cell when placed in them]
