a large quantity of sugar is needed to make jam. the cytoplasm of bacteria contains much less sugar. is the bacterial cytoplasm isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic to the jam?



Answer :

The bacterial.cytoplasm is hypotonic.

When two solutions are kept, the concentration in either solution can be more or less than other solution. Or the concentration can be equal in both. The solution which has less solute concentration is called hypotonic solution and hypertonic solution is the solution with higher solute strength.

As the question mentions, bacterial cytoplasm contains less sugar which is the solute. So, it is hypotonic in nature. The bacterial cytoplasm will bloat in such case.
