In plants, a hypotonic solution is NOT ____.

Options

  1. Aa weak solution
  2. Ba strong solvent
  3. Cwith low osmotic concentration
  4. Dwith high osmotic concentration

Correct answer

D. with high osmotic concentration

Step-by-step solution

A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell sap. It is a dilute or weak solution, meaning it has a high water potential (strong solvent) and a low osmotic concentration. A solution with a high osmotic concentration is a hypertonic solution, not a hypotonic solution. Therefore, a hypotonic solution is NOT with high osmotic concentration. Answer: with high osmotic concentration
