Answer #1

Ans. It is a case of hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic solutions.

Hypertonic solution would have greater osmotic pressure as a result of which there would be cell shrinkage. Owing to which water would be drained off from the cells and released in the surrounding environment. Thus 10% solution would be hypertonic one leading to cell shrinkage.

In case of 0.9% solution the cells would be isotonic with the environment.

Hypotonic solutions posses less osmotic pressure due to which water would be taken up by the cell resulting in cell bursts.
