Question

In which condition, the cell wall will protect the cell from bursting?

-hypertonic
-hypotonic
-isotonic
-none of the above

Answer 1

Cells with a cell wall will protect the cell from bursting in a hypertonic solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cells with a cell wall, such as plants, are better able to withstand changes in osmotic pressure and maintain their shape. In a hypertonic solution, a cell with a cell wall will lose water and undergo plasmolysis, where the plasma membrane detaches from the cell wall. This process prevents the cell from bursting. Therefore, the correct answer is hypertonic.
