The effects of isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic extracellular environments on plant and animal cells is the same. However, due to the cell walls of plants, the visible effects differ. Although some effects can be seen, the rigid cell wall can hide the magnitude of what is going on inside.

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, there is same effects of isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic extracellular environments on plant and animal cells because both cells are more similar to each other. If a plant or animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will go outside the cell, and the cell will shrink, in isotonic environment, there is no water movement inside or outside of the cell, so there is no change in the size of the cell, while on the other hand, if a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will turgor.
