what happens when RBC and a palisade cell is placed in hypertonic , hypotonic and isotonic solutions
Open in App
Solution
RBC in hypertonic solution — it shrinks or crenates
RBC in hypotonic solution— it bursts or hemolysis occurs
RBC in isotonic solution —no change in shape occurs
Palisade cell in hypertonic solution — the cytoplasm and vacuole shrinks and eventually the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall
Palisade cell in hypotonic solution— water enters through osmosis until the pressure of the cell wall prevents further uptake of water and the cell turns turgid
Palisade cell in isotonic solution —no change in shape occurs
