Question

A cell placed in a solution get deplasmolysed. The solution is

• A. Hypotonic
• B. Hypertonic
• C. Isotonic
• D. Ditonic

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hypotonic

A cell placed in a solution get deplasmolysed. Plant cells kept in hypotonic solution starts absorbing water by the process of endosmosis as the hypotonic solution has more concentration of solvent molecules than the fluid inside the cell so the solvent molecules moves inside the cell from the region of higher concentration to the lower concentration by the process of endosmosis. The cell swells and the protoplasm shrinkage by the plasmolysis gets neutralized and the cell gets deplasmolysed.

So, the correct answer is option A.
