When a plant cell is placed in a solution which is hypotonic to the cell sap, which of the conditions will not apply

Options

A. The water potential of the cell sap will rise
B. The suction pressure of the cell sap will fail
C. The cell will become turgid
D. The wall pressure of the cell will fail

Answer

D

Explanation

When the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution it takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. The plant cell is said to have become turgid i.e. swollen and hard. The pressure inside the cell rises until this internal pressure is equal to the pressure outside
