Question
Grapes placed in three beakers $$X, Y$$ and $$Z$$ containing different types of solutions are shown in figures.

If beaker $$X$$ contains water, $$Y$$ and $$Z$$ contain
A.
$$Y$$ - hypotonic solution, $$Z$$ - hypertonic solution
B.
$$Y$$ - hypertonic solution, $$Z$$ - hypotonic solution
C.
$$Y$$ and $$Z$$ - isotonic solutions
D.
$$Y$$ and $$Z$$ - hypotonic solutions
Answer :
$$Y$$ - hypotonic solution, $$Z$$ - hypertonic solution
Solution :
In hypotonic solution, the water is drawn in and the grape swells while in hypertonic solution the water is drawn out and the grape shrinks.
