What will happen if you place plant cell or animal cell in salt or sugar solution

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student
If we place a cell in sugar solution, the cell will shrink. It is because the movement of water takes place from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration i.e from inside cell to outside in the sugar solution to attain equilibrium. It results in the shrinkage of cell.
