Endosmosis takes place when a plant cell is immersed in
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Hypotonic solution
Endosmosis is the movement of water from outside to inside of the cell. In hypotonic solution, concentration of the solvent is high outside the cell. Therefore, water/solvent enters the cell causing the contents of the plant cell to press against the cell wall. In hypertonic solution, exosmosis will take place, i.e. the solvent/water will move from inside to outside of the cell.Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
