If excess fertilizer is placed around the root of a tomato plant , the leaves of the plant will shrivel and turn down what is this phenomenon in terms of tonicity
If the fertilizer is placed around the root of a tomato plant, the leaves of the plant will shrivel and turn brown. This phenomenon in terms of tonicity is that;
inside the root cell is hypotonic since it contain more water than surrounding .
In the other hand the cell is hypertonic since it contain more solute from fertilizer.
Through osmosis water move out of the cell therefore the it turns to brown.
