A leaf peeling of Tradescantia is kept in a medium having 10% NaCl. After few minutes if we observe the leaf peel under the microscope, we are likely to see
Entry of water into the cell
The cells bursting out
Diffusion of NaCl into the cell
Exit of water from the cell
Hypertonic solution -
A solution that contains more solutes than the cytoplasm of the cell
- wherein
Water moves out (exosmosis) of the cell and the cell shrinks.
10% NaCl solution is a hypertonic solution as compared to cell sap. Hence, exosmosis will occur.
