Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become rigid due to turgor pressure. Similar stalks left in a salt solution become soft. From this we can deduce that the cells of the celery stalks are A) hypotonic to both fresh water and the salt solution. B) hypertonic to both fresh water and the salt solution. C) hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution. D) hypotonic to fresh water but hypertonic to the salt solution. E) isotonic with fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution.
hey is this for a test?
It's for a assignment I need to compare answers make sure it right @shrutipande9 why?
Flow of water into a plant cell will make it rigid (turgor) while loss of water will have the opposite effect. In this case it would be C.
