In conditions of overhydration, a concentration gradient is created between plant cells and their environment that encourages the movement of water into the cells. Despite this, plant cells can often maintain their shape for relatively prolonged exposure to hypotonic conditions as compared to animal cells. Which of the following subcellular components is most likely responsible for this capacity? A B с D The mitochondria will increase their intake of water during cellular preparation toward the production of ATP molecules. The vacuole of the plant cell will continuously increase in size to accommodate the in- take of water into the cell and allow the cell to maintain its shape. The cell wall in the plant cell creates pressure against the intake of water and slows its movement into the cell. The chloroplasts in the plant cell slow down the accumulation of water by increasing its use during photosynthesis.
