Question

The process of plasmolysis can be reversed if the cell is placed in ?
(a) Hypertonic solution
(b) Isotonic solution
(c) Hypotonic solution
(d) Saturated solution

Answer 1

the process of plasmolysis can be reversed if the cell is placed in hypotonic solution

Answer 2

Answer:

The process of plasmolysis can be reversed if the cell is placed in hypotonic solution.

Option C

Explanation:

Plasmolysis is the process by which water from a cell can be pulled out by placing it in a solution that has much higher concentration of salts or sugar. This actually draws the water out of cell.

To reverse this process i.e. Retaining the properties of a plasmolysed cell, we need to put it in a solution where the concentration of salts or sugar is much lesser than that of the cell itself. This will push the water inside cell membrane, and the cell will bulge up.
