Q2: Each of the following statements contains at least one error. Decide what is wrong with each statement and rewrite it correctly. a. Plant cells do not burst in pure water because the cell stops water getting into the cell. b. When a plant cell is placed in a concentrated sugar solution, water moves out of the cell by osmosis, through the semi-permeable cell wall. c. A sisking tubing is a membrane which is semi-permeable. If visking tubing containing a sugar solution is put into a beaker of water, the sugar solution moves out of the tubing by osmosis.
