Question

ndependent and dependent variables. 59. Salt Amount of the Solution Solution A has more salt than the cells of the celery stalk Solution B has less salt than the cells of the celery stalk Solution C has the same salt content as the cells of the celery stalk a). Identify which solution is isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic to the celery stalk cells b). Describe why the celery stalk will shrink when placed in the hypertonic solution 60. Dihybrid cross. The kernels (seeds) on an ear of corn are all offspring of one set of

Answer 1

59.

a)Ans-

Solution A has more salt than the cells of the celery stalk- Hypertonic

Solution B has less salt than the cells of the celery stalk-   Hypotonic

Solution C has the same salt content as the cells of the celery stalk- Isotonic

Explanation:

The hypotonic solution contains less salt as compared to the cells

The hypertonic solution contains more slat as compared to the cells

The isotonic solution contains the same amount of salt as the cells.

b.Ans-

                    The shrinkage of cytoplasm is called plasmolysis that occurs due to loss of water by osmosis when a cell placed in a hypertonic solution. Celery becomes soft and mushy when placed in a hypertonic solution. Because the concentration of salt is higher outside the celery. This causes the comes out of water from the celery cells. As the water comes out from the celery cells , the cells become shrink .
