A plant cell placed in a solution with a lower (more negative) water potential will _____. view available hint(s) a plant cell placed in a solution with a lower (more negative) water potential will _____. gain water and plasmolyze lose water and burst lose water and become turgid gain water and become turgid lose water and plasmolyze

Respuesta :

Answer:

Lose water and plasmolyze

Explanation:

  • When a plant cell is placed in a solution with a lower water potential it will lose water osmotically and plasmolyze.
  • During the process of osmosis water moves from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential.
  • Loss of water by the plant cells makes it to shrink or reduce in size and consequently, the plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall, producing plasmolysis.
