Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
If a cell is undergoing deplasmolysis, the cell is

• A. Showing endosmosis
• B. In hypotonic solution
• C. Building up turgor
• D. Showing all these

Answer 1

The correct option is D Showing all these

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water diffuses into the cell causing the cytoplasm to build up pressure against the wall called as turgor pressure. Diffusion of the water into the cells is called endosmosis. It helps the cell to regain the rigidity of the cell wall. The cell does not rupture and turgor pressure is ultimately responsible for the enlargement and extension of the cells during the growth. This phenomenon is known as deplasmolysis.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Showing all these'.
