Question

plant cells tend to do best in a hypotonic environment due to their cell wall. which type of environment do animal cells do best?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Animal cells lack a rigid cell wall. In a hypotonic environment, water would enter the cell by osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst (lysis). In a hypertonic environment, water would leave the cell, causing it to shrink (crenation). In an isotonic environment, the solute concentration is equal inside and outside the cell. There is no net movement of water, so the cell maintains its normal shape and function.

Answer:

An isotonic environment.
