Question:

What happens to a plant cell when placed in a dilute solution? And what happens to a plant cell when placed in a concentrated solution?

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

When a plant cell is placed in a dilute solution such as water the water will move into the cell by osmosis and just like an animal cell it will expand, the cell walls in plant cell prevent it from bursting, instead the cell becomes turgid (swollen) When a plant cell is placed in a concentrated solution water moves out of the plant cell and the cell becomes flaccid (it shrinks)
