Question

what is plasmolysis define it

Answer 1

Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution. The reverse process, 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

Hey !!

When plant cell is placed in hypertonic solution, the fluid from the plant cell comes out and the cell shrinks. This phenomenon is called plasmolysis and is due to osmosis.

Good luck !!
