Question

Explain why plants do not burst when immersed in distilled water

Answer 1

                                                       Answer

According to EasyEliMu,

Plant cells have cells membrane and cell wall. When the cell is placed or immersed in distilled water, the water is absorbed by osmosis. ( This is the reason why plants do not burst!!! ) As cell becomes turgid, the cell created an inward force, wall pressure that prevents the cell from bursting. Isotonic solution- a solution which has the same concentration as the cell sap.
