Question
cell placed in pure water will shrink. 22/25 only in plants sometimes false true
Brief Explanations
A cell placed in pure water will undergo osmosis. Since pure water has a higher water - potential than the cell's interior, water will move into the cell, causing it to swell or even burst (in animal cells), not shrink. This is due to the principle of osmosis where water moves from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a semi - permeable membrane.
