Question

DEFINITION OF PLASMOLYSIS​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution. The reverse process, deplasmolysis or cytolysis, can occur if the cell is in a hypotonic solution resulting in a lower external osmotic pressure and a net flow of water into the cell.

Answer 2

Answer:

✴️Plamolysis :

• Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution.

• The reverse process, deplasmolysis or cytolysis, can occur if the cell is in a hypotonic solution resulting in a lower external osmotic pressure and a net flow of water into the cell.

• Water rushes out of the cell, right after they are placed in the hypertonic solution, and the cell starts shrinking.

• These plasmolyzed cells are dehydrated and are then devoid of all physiological functions, sometimes leading to the death of the plant.

✴️Plamolysis types :

Plasmolysis can be of two types,

• Concave plamolysis
• Convex plasmolysis.

• Convex plasmolysis is always irreversible while concave plasmolysis is usually reversible.
