If you place an animal cell into a hypotonic solution, it will swell until it pops. However, if you put a plant cell into the same hypotonic solution, it will almost never pop. Why not? a. The plant cell wall can withstand considerable hydrostatic pressure. b. The cell wall blocks osmosis. c. Plant and animal cells respond oppositely to hypotonic solutions. d. Plant cells produce molecules that change their cytoplasms into isotonic condition.
