Question

What will happen when we dip an animal cell in a hypertonic solution

Open in App
Solution

When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, then water moves out of the cell as a result of exosmosis. So, when an animal cell will be placed in a hypertonic solution then it would lose water and shrink.
