Question

Now place some Rheo leaves in boiling water for a few minutes. This kills the cells. Then mount one leaf on a slide and observe it under a microscope. Put a strong solution of sugar or salt on the mounted leaf on the slide. Wait for a minute and observe it again. What do we find? Did plasmolysis occur now

Answer 1

yes obviously plasmolysis occurs because it is a physical phenomena and not dependent on cells life it just need the concentration gradiend

Answer 2

Explanation:

in dead cells the selectively permeable membrane is destroyed and so plasmolysis does not occur.
