Plasmolysis :
The process where the cell loose water in a hypertonic solution is called as plasmolysis.
➼ The opposite process of plasmolysis is cytolysis.
➼ It does not takes place in the dead cells.
➼ It demonstrates the permeability of the cell.
➼ Osmosis is responsible for the plasmolysis.
➼ Plant cells which are full of water are said to be turgid cells.
➼ When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there are higher concentration of solutes outside the cell, so water flows in and our of the cell and balance the concentration on both sides of membrane.
➼ There are two types of plasmolysis : Convex plasmolysis and concave plasmolysis.
Answer:
☞Plasmolysis:-
➪ Plasmolysis is the detachment of cell membrane of the plant cell from the cell wall when put in Hypertonic Solution
➪ Plasmo– A combining form of representing plasma or cytoplasm
➪ Lysis– Ruputure of something or break.
➪ When plant cell is surrounded by hypertonic solution the water is lost from cytoplasm and then from the cell wall.
➪ When a plasmolysed cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the cell restores it's turgidity→ Deplasmolysis
