Summarize the differences between how the salt-sensitive plant cell and the salt-resistant plant cell behave in the 10% salt solution..

Answer:

Salt sensitive plants when exposed to a 10% salt solution will result in the water in the plant cell to leave and get attached to the salt solution through the process called Osmosis. Osmosis is a phenomenon which occurs as a result of movement of fluid from a region of lower concentration to a higher concentration.

This causes the plant cells to shrink and wilt.

However when a salt-resistant plant is exposed to a 10% salt solution osmosis doesn’t occur and the plants remains the same without any form of shrinkage or wilting.

  • Salt sensitive plants will undergo plasmolysis.
  • Salt resistant plants will remain unchanged.

A plant that is sensitive to salt means that when it is placed in a salt solution it's cell structure will change by the process of osmosis.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semi permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration.

Therefore when the salt sensitive plant is placed on the 10% salt solution, there would be water loss from the intercellular compartment to the extracellular leading to the protoplasmic shrinking called plasmolysis.

A plant that is resistant to salt means that the plant is not in anyway affected when placed in a salt solution.
