How does the plant cell wall respond whenever it is placed beneath hypotonic medium?

E

Expert

Verified

The plant cell wall (that is, the covering of cell external to the cell membrane) is made up of cellulose, a polymer of glucose.

Whenever the cell is put beneath hypotonic medium it absorbs too much water via osmosis. In that condition the cell wall pressure performs to compensate the osmotic pressure therefore forbidding excessive raise of the cellular volume and the cell lysis.
