Which Environments Would Be Best for the Functioning of Animal

Question

Which environments would be best for the functioning of animal and plant cells?
A)A hypotonic environment for plant cells and an isotonic environment for animal cells.
B)A hypotonic environment for animal cells and an isotonic environment for plant cells.
C)An isotonic environment for both plant and animal cells.

Accepted Answer

Plant cells thrive in a hypotonic environment because it allows them to maintain turgor pressure, which is essential for structural support. Animal cells function best in an isotonic environment to prevent cell lysis or shrinkage due to osmotic pressure.
