Verified Answer :

To compare and contrast on what happens to an animal a plant and a paramecium cell in a hypotonic and isotonic and hypertonic solution, there will be no change in shape in the isotonic solution.

Based on the nature of the solution:

  • If an animal cell, a plant cell and a paramecium cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the cells will all swell but only the plant and paramecium cell will burst.
  • If an animal cell, a plant cell and a paramecium cell is placed in an isotonic solution, the cells will all remain the same size.
  • If an animal cell, a plant cell and a paramecium cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cells will all shrink.

What are hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic solution?

A hypotonic solution is less concentrated than another solution.

An isotonic solution is of equal concentration to another solution.

A hypertonic solution is more concentrated than another solution.

If an animal cell, a plant cell and a paramecium cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the cells will all swell but only the plant and paramecium cell will burst.

If an animal cell, a plant cell and a paramecium cell is placed in an isotonic solution, the cells will all remain the same size.

If an animal cell, a plant cell and a paramecium cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cells will all shrink but only the plant cell will experience shrinking of its cytoplasm from the cell wall.
