To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break down the statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion **Assertion:** "Plant cell does not burst on account of endosmosis when kept in hypotonic solution." - **Explanation:** When plant cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis. This influx of water causes the cell to swell. However, due to the presence of a rigid cell wall, the plant cell does not burst. Instead, it becomes turgid, which is a normal and healthy state for plant cells. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason **Reason:** "Plant cell possesses large vacuoles that remove excess water entering the cell and prevent it from bursting." ...
