Question
plant prefer to be in a(n)______ solution because it provides structure and support for each plant cell by filling up the vacuole.
hypotonic
hypertonic
isotonic
rewatch
Brief Explanations
In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the plant cell by osmosis, filling the vacuole and providing turgor pressure which gives structure and support. In hypertonic solutions, water moves out of the cell causing plasmolysis, and in isotonic solutions, there is no net water movement and less turgor.
