Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When water enters a plant cell, it moves into the vacuole, which becomes enlarged. This helps to maintain turgor pressure, allowing the plant to remain upright. Option A is incorrect as the cell doesn't burst due to a cell wall surrounding it. Options D and E are incorrect as they are terms used to describe the response of animal cells in a hypertonic solution. Option C is also incorrect as under normal circumstances, the vacuole should become enlarged when water enters the cell.
