In the space provided name and draw the plant cells as seen under the microscope in the different solutions. Label the water movement.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to name and draw plant cells as observed under a microscope in hypotonic and hypertonic solutions, and to label the movement of water in these scenarios.
Answer
Hypotonic: cell becomes turgid; Hypertonic: cell becomes plasmolyzed.
In a hypotonic solution, plant cells become turgid as water moves into the cell. In a hypertonic solution, plant cells undergo plasmolysis as water exits the cell.
Answer for screen readers
In a hypotonic solution, plant cells become turgid as water moves into the cell. In a hypertonic solution, plant cells undergo plasmolysis as water exits the cell.
More Information
In a hypotonic environment, cells appear swollen due to water intake, while in hypertonic environments, cells shrink as water moves out.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the directions of water movement in different solutions. Remember, water moves from high to low concentration.
