Solution
The correct option is B Decrease
The correct option is B
Explanation for correct answer:
- When a cell is kept in sucrose solution, there is no change in its volume but when a cell is kept in a 0.5 M solution of NaCl, the volume of the cell wall decreases.
- It is because NaCl solution has a higher concentration of solutes which will result in the movement of solvent molecules from the cell to the outside, the process known as exosmosis.
- It results in decrease in cell volume.
Final answer: The volume of the cell decreases.
