The diagrams show what happens to the shape of a plant cell place in distilled water. Explain why the cell swells and becomes turgid. Name the process involved.

Respuesta :

Answer:

the name of the process should be osmosis

Explanation: Reason being that plant cells are hypertonic because they have a cell sap so when they are pout in distilled water  which is a hypotonic solution, it then absorbs water by osmosis and swells up and become turgid. But they do not burst because they have a cell wall that develops a wall pressure that balances the turgor pressure exerted by turgid cells
