In ________ conditions,the cell wall will help prevent the cell from bursting.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In hypotonic conditions, there is a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell than outside, causing water to flow into the cell. This can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst. However, if the cell has a cell wall, it will help to prevent bursting by providing structural support and maintaining the shape of the cell. In hypertonic conditions, there is a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside, causing water to flow out of the cell and potentially shrinking it. In isotonic conditions, there is an equal concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell, so there is no net movement of water and the cell remains in its normal state. Therefore, the only choice that is correct based on the given information is B.
