Detailed explanation-1: -In plant cells, the cell membrane creates a pressure against the cell wall, which exerts an equal pressure against the swollen cell but do not burst. Because of the strong cell walls, plant cells can withstand much greater pressure of internal swelling of cell than the animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The structure that prevents plant cells from bursting when they are placed in hypotonic surroundings is the plant cell wall. The cell wall surrounds plant cells and is rigid, which prevents the cell from bursting when water flows into it as a result of being placed in a hypotonic surrounding.

Detailed explanation-3: -A cell placed into a hypotonic solution will swell and expand until it eventually burst through a process known as cytolysis. These three examples of different solute concentrations provide an illustration of the spectrum of water movement based on solute concentration through the process of osmosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell wall provides mechanical support to the plant cell. When a plant cell is kept in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell but it does not burst because of the pressure applied by the cell wall. Since it is rigid, it does not allow the cell to expand to an extent that it would burst.

Detailed explanation-5: -If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
