2. If a plant cell has a lower water potential than its surrounding environment and if pressure is equal to zero, is the cell hypertonic (in terms of solute concentration) or hypotonic to its environment? Will the cell gain water or lose water?

In the event that the potential for the plant cell to assimilate water is lower than the environment's capability to ingest water, at that point indeed, the plant cell is hypertonic.

Tonicity is truly alluding to the osmosis direction. In the event that the water will stream out of the cell, at that point its hypertonic.

In the event that the water will stream into the cell, at that point the cell is hypotonic.

If a plant cell has a lower water potential than its surrounding environment and if pressure is equal to zero, then the cell is:

Hypertonic

A hypertonic solution is one in which the osmotic pressure of a particular fluid is high.

According to the given question, we can see that there is a lower water potential in a plant cell and as a result of this, we can see that the pressure is zero which shows that the cell is hypertonic.

Therefore, the correct answer is Hypertonic
