Mammalian liver cells will swell when kept in
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Hypotonic solution
When mammalian liver cells are kept in a hypotonic solution endosmosis occurs as the cell is hypertonic. Due to endosmosis, the cellular protoplasm is filled with water, it swells and the cells become turgid. Swelling is seen because the water flows from lower concentration of solute to the higher concentration of solute. Thus the correct answer is option B.
