Question

the term used to describe the shrinking of cells placed in a hypertonic solution, resulting in a spiky cell shape. a) crenation b) plasmolysis c) turgor pressure d) brownian movement question 7 (3 points) compare the response of plant and animal cells placed in hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic solutions.

Explanation:

Crenation occurs when animal cells are in a hypertonic solution and lose water, causing them to shrink and develop a spiky shape. Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the protoplast of a plant cell in a hypertonic solution. Turgor pressure is related to the pressure exerted by water within the cell. Brownian movement is the random motion of particles in a fluid.

Answer:

a) crenation
