In a hypotonic solution, the plant cell tends to absorb water. As a result, the turgor pressure and the vacuole inside the plant cell increase.

In a hypotonic solution (the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside the cell), the plant cell tends to absorb water.

The concentration gradient draws the water in resulting in swelling. Plants are protected from bursting by the presence of cells walls.

Plant cells placed in a hypotonic environment . A. will remain flaccid, due to an ineffective central vacuole. B. will shrivel, due to the loss of water ...
