The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to understand the process of water movement in plant cells when they are placed in a hypertonic solution. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hypertonic Solutions**: - A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute compared to the inside of the cell. This means that the concentration of water is lower outside the cell than inside. 2. **Movement of Water**: - Water moves from an area of higher water potential (inside the cell) to an area of lower water potential (outside the cell). This is due to osmosis. 3. **First Site of Water Loss**: - When the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the first place from which water is lost is the **cytoplasm**. The cytoplasm has a higher water concentration than the surrounding hypertonic solution, so water will move out from the cytoplasm first. 4. **Second Site of Water Loss**: - After the cytoplasm loses water, the next site from which water is lost is the **vacuole**. As the cytoplasm shrinks due to water loss, the vacuole will also contract, leading to further water loss from the vacuole. 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the answers to the blanks are: - (A) Cytoplasm - (B) Vacuole ### Final Answer: When water moves out from the cell, it is first lost from the (A) **Cytoplasm** and then from the (B) **Vacuole**. ---
