1.If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in a hypotonic solution, what among the
following will take place? Explain the reason for your answer.

(a) Both the cells will swell.

(b) RBC will burst easily while cells of onion peel will resist the bursting to some extent.

(c) a and b both are correct.

(d) RBC and onion peel cells will behave similarly.

2. In brief state what happens when

(a) dry apricots are left for sometime in pure water and later transferred to sugar solution?

(b) a red blood cell is kept in concentrated saline solution?

(c) the plasma membrane of a cell breaks down?

(d) rheo leaves are boiled in water first and then a drop of sugar syrup is put on it?

3.How do substances like CO2 and water move in and out of the cell? Explain
4. Why does the skin of your finger shrink when you wash clothes for a long time?

5. While cooking vegetables, when we add salt into the vegetables, vegetables release water.
Why?

6. If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in a hypotonic solution. What will happen
to each of them? Explain

7. Sania conducts an experiment to know how plant cells lose or gain water through osmosis. She
cuts out 5 cm long potato strips. She puts three potato strips in each of the following beakers:

Sania leaves the potato strips in the beaker for 5 hours.


• Beaker 3 containing 2% salt solution
• Beaker 2 containing 1% salt solution
• Beaker 1 containing only water

She records the length of the potato strips in each beaker after 5 hours.

a) What can Sania conclude from her experiment?

i. Cells gain water through osmosis when kept in salt solution.


ii. Salt molecules from the cell move out when kept in water.

iii. Cells in salt solution first gain water and then gradually lose water.

iv. Water molecules move out of the cell based on the amount of salt in the solution.

b) In which beaker was the concentration of water molecules inside and outside the potato
cells likely to be the same? Explain your answer.
c) Why did Sania place three potato strips in each beaker?
