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
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.
