Question

what do you mean by term plasmolysed, when you describe a cell?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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.

Answer 2

$\huge{ \underline{ \fbox \purple{Answer:}}}$

• When a plant cell is kept in a strong sugar or salt solution, the water from inside of the cell comes out. Due to this, the plasma membrane and protoplasm of the cell show shrinkage, while cell wall of the cell remains as it is. Such a cell is called plasmolysed cell. This phenomenon is known as plasmolysis.
