Question

describe what will happen to an individual plant cell in varying solution conditions, and effects this may have on the cell's structure.

Answer 1

Solutions are of three types in comparison to the concentration of of dissolved solutes with another solution. they are hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solutions.
Plant cell has cell wall covering the cell.
If a plant cell is placed in hypotonic solution, then the plant cell will gain water by endosmosis. This makes the plant cell to become turgid and the cell wall of the plant cell exert the turgor pressure.
If a plant cell is placed in in hypertonic solution, then the plant cell will lose water by exosmosis. This makes the cellular contents of the plant cell to move away from the cell wall, the process which is known as plasmolysis.
If a plant cell is placed in isotonic solution, then there will not be any net movement of water either in to the cell or out of the cell, since the concentration of water both inside and outside of the cell is same. So, the cell will not become turgid or cell will not get plasmolysed.
