Question

if a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, in what direction is the net movement of water? into the cell both directions out of the cell

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) to an area of higher solute concentration (lower water concentration). A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the plant cell's interior. So, water will move out of the cell to balance the concentration gradient.

Answer:

out of the cell
