Question

What will happen when animal cell is placed in sugar solution?

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student

If we place an animal cell in hyper tonic solution like 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.
