What happens to an Elodea cell when placed in a 06M 03M 015M

What happens to an Elodea cell when placed in a 0.6M, 0.3M, 0.15M, 0.07M and 0.035M of glucose? (Hypertonic, hypotonic or hypotonic)

Solution

In a hypertonic medium (0.6M, 0.3M) Elodea will shrink due to outbound osmosis & partial dehydration. The cell membrane will seperate from the cell wall (plasmolysis). That the cell itself isn\'t getting tinier, but the vacuole is smaller. Chloroplasts were found near the edge of the cell wall will collapse  into the centre of the cell because the vacuole is empty.

In the hypotonic environment (0.035M, 0.07M and 0.15M) , the Elodea cell will wind up being in dynamic equilibrium. It all has got to be strong, happy cell. From a hypotonic position, there will be a net gain of water directly into the cell by inside osmosis. The cell will stick , nonetheless not burst, due to a rigid cell wall.
