explain plasmalyis with a diagram
Answers
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.
HEYA, BUDDY !!
: The shrinkage of the protoplasm when the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. Hypertonic solution means a solution in which the solute concentration is greater than the solvent concentration. Example is sugar or salt solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the solvent concentration is higher inside the cell than its surrounding. The water molecules move out of the cell by the process of exosmosis. The turgor pressure decreases. As a result of which the cells shrink. Plasmolysis occurs in extreme conditions and occurs rarely in nature.

As We know that, An example of plasmolysis is higher concentration of salt and sugar is used in pickles and Jam. Due to the higher concentration of sugar and salt, the microbes get plasmolysed. Thus jams and pickles can be stored for a longer time. The outward movement of the solvent molecules from cell to surrounding is exosmosis. The inward movement of solvent from surrounding to cell is called endosmosis. An example of endosmosis is resins swell when soaked in water.
