Question

The solution which has higher osmotic pressure than some other solution is known as __________ .

• A. Pseudoplastic fluid
• B. Dilatant Fluid
• C. Hypertonic solution
• D. Hypotonic solution

Answer 1

The correct option is C Hypertonic solution

The solution which has higher osmotic pressure than some other solution is known as Hypertonic solution.
When placed in Hypertonic solutions, the fluid from the plant cells comes out and thus the cells contract in size (plasmolysis).
When excess of fertilizers (like urea) are applied, plasmolysis takes place and plants dry up (wilt).
