Q. A cell increases in volume when it is placed in which of the following?
Answer: Hypotonic solution
Notes: Hypotonic solution is hypotonic to a cell if it has a lower solute concentration than the cell does. Osmosis draws water out of the solution and into the cells. As a result, plant and animal cells both appear more plump when placed in a hypotonic solution.
