Please Help Which Of The Following Diagrams Shows How Osmosis Would Affect A Plant Cell When Placed In A Solution With A Lower Solute Concentration Than Its Own class=

Sagot :

Answer:

Diagram Z

Explanation:

A cell placed into a hypotonic solution will swell and expand until it eventually burst through a process known as cytolysis.

Answer:

Diagram Y

Explanation:

Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules across (into or out of) a cell membrane. "Passive" means that the process occurs automatically without the need for chemical energy.

In the diagrams above, a plant cell is shown as it would appear in a solution with a solute concentration more than its own (X), a solution with a solute concentration equal to its own (Y), and a solution with a solute concentration less than it own (Z). The movement of water is toward the area of more solute concentration (and therefore less water concentration).

The answer, then, is Diagram Y.
