When water moves into potato cells soaked in a hypotonic solution, they will become _____.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In a hypotonic solution, water moves into plant cells because the external solute concentration is lower than the inside of the cell. 
Option 1: 'turgid' — This is the correct description for plant cells in hypotonic conditions: the influx of water increases turgor pressure against the cell wall, making the cell firm and rigid. 
Option 2: 'remain unchanged' — This would imply no net water movement or pressure change, which contradicts the osmotic gradient created by a hypotonic medium; the cell will absorb water rather than stay the same. 
Option 3: 'flaccid' — A flaccid cell results from insufficient water, often seen in isotonic or hypertonic environments where turgor pressure is lost; under hypotonic conditions, cells become turgid, not flaccid.
