Which of the following is true? (There may be more than one correct answer)

A. Animal cells shrink when placed in salt water.
B. Distilled water is a hypotonic solution.
C. Plant cells shrink when placed in distilled water.
D. Plant cells burst when placed in distilled water.



Answer :

Final answer:

Animal cells shrink in salt water, distilled water is hypotonic, and plant cells burst in distilled water.


Explanation:

Animal cells shrink when placed in salt water due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside. Distilled water is a hypotonic solution as it has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing cells to swell. Plant cells tend to burst when placed in distilled water because the cell wall cannot withstand the excessive water uptake.
