    The document discusses the effect of different solutions on a cell through osmosis. A cell dipped in 0.5 M sucrose solution does not change, as sucrose solution is isotonic. But when dipped in 0.5 M NaCl solution, which is hypertonic, the cell shrinks due to osmosis, a process known as plasmolysis.

    Hint: Basically, a cell can be in three different types of solution. They are hypertonic solution, isotonic solution and hypotonic solution. All the
    three types of solution have different impacts on the solution because of osmosis. Osmosis is a process in which Talk

    1. Hypertonic solution: It is a solution in which the concentration of solute particles is more than the other solution. Eg: sugar and salt solution

    2. Hypotonic solution: It is a type of solution in which has lower solute concentration compared to other solutions. Eg: tap water and pure
    water.

    3. Isotonic solution: It is a solution which has the same solute concentration as that of the other solution. Eg: blood, 0.9% of salt solution.

    - 0.5 M NaCl solution is hypertonic with respect to 0.5 M sucrose solution. 0.5 M Sucrose solution and the cell are isotonic with respect to
    each other and hence when a cell is placed in 0.5 M sucrose solution there is no effect on the cell.

    - But the cell is hypotonic compared to the 0.5M NaCl solution ( hypertonic solution). Hence there is an osmotic potential that leads to the
    movement of water molecules from the cell to NaCl or salt solution through a semipermeable membrane.

    - This results in the shrinkage of the cell. And this process in a plant where the cell loses its water content to hypertonic solution is called
    Plasmolysis.

    Therefore the correct answer is both (B) Decrease in size (D) Gets plasmolysed(only if it is a plant cell).

    Note: Remember that during plasmolysis, the cell shrinks, but there is no effect on the cell wall only in plants. Therefore when a plant cell is
    placed in a hypertonic solution, they get plasmolysed and when other cells are placed in the hypertonic solution, they reduce in size.
