If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution, what among the following will take place? Explain the reason for your answer.
RBC and onion peel cell will shrink and plasmolyse.

Explanation

When RBCs and cells of onion peel are separately kept in hypotonic solution, RBCs would first swell and then burst due to endosmosis. However, cell wall in cells of onion peel puts a counter wall pressure when the cells become fully turgid. This stops further entry of water in the cells of onion peel and, thus, they do not burst.
