Question

plasmolysis in plant cell occur due to ________

Answer 1

plasmolysis is a process in which cell lose water in hypertonic solution

Answer 2

If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cellwall and the membrane and making the plant cell shrink and crumple.
