Question

If on a plant cell slide a salt solution was dropped.which phenomenon is this and why

Answer 1

Explanation:

Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cytoplasm of a plant cell in response to diffusion of water out of the cell and into a high salt concentration solution. During plasmolysis, the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The plant cells which are immersed in the hypertonic salt solution or 5% NaCl solution exhibit plasmolysis. ... This take s place because the concentration of water inside the cell is higher than the outside of the cell. Thus, the protoplasm induces shrinkage and takes a spherical shape.
