Question

Summarize the differences between how the salt-sensitive plant cell and the salt-resistant plant cell behave in the 10% salt solution..

Answer 1

Answer:

Salt sensitive plants when exposed to a 10% salt solution will result in the water in the plant cell to leave and get attached to the salt solution through the process called Osmosis. Osmosis is a phenomenon which occurs as a result of movement of fluid from a region of lower concentration to a higher concentration.

This causes the plant cells to shrink and wilt.

However when a salt-resistant plant is exposed to a 10% salt solution osmosis doesn’t occur and the plants remains the same without any form of shrinkage or wilting.
