B. Isotonic tonicity
C. Plasmolysis

4)Strong cell walls and water-filled vacuoles help maintain [1]to help plants to stand upright.
5)For the egg experiment, explain how the tonicity changed whenthe unshelled egg went into a corn syrup solution and when the eggwent into the colored water solution. Describe what was happeningin relation to osmosis.
