Question

WHAT IS MEAN BY PLASMALYOSIS

Answer 1

Answer:

Plasmolysis is the process in which the protoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall of a plant or bacterium due to water loss from osmosis, thereby resulting in gaps between the cell wall and cell membrane. In plasmolysis, cells lose water in a hypertonic solution

Explanation:

A continued decrease in pressure eventually leads to cytorrhysis which is the complete collapse of the cell wall.

When a living plant cell loses water through osmosis, the contents of the cell shrink away from the cell wall. This process is called plasmolysis. Plasmolysis does not occur in dead cells. Plasmolysis is seen when plant cells loses water to a hypertonic environment.
