    Plant cell seems less affected by the changes in solute concentration due to presence of cell wall.

    Explanation:

    The principle difference between plant cell and animal cell is that plant cell contain cell wall but animal cell does not.

    The presence of cell wall prevent the osmotic lysis of the cell when the cell is kept in a hypotonic solution.

    In case of plants the solute concentration of cytosol is greater than that of extracellular matrix. The entry of water inside the plant cell increases the turgor pressure that pushes both cytosol and plasma membrane against the rigid cell wall.
