Question

what is plasmolysis explain only in simple language

Answer 1

contraction of the protoplast of a plant cell as a result of loss of water from the cell

Answer 2

Plasmolysis is when plant cells lose water after being placed in a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell does. This is known as a hypertonic solution. Water flows out of the cells and into the surrounding fluid due to osmosis. This causes the protoplasm, all the material on the inside of the cell, to shrink away from the cell wall. Severe water loss that leads to the collapse of the cell wall can result in cell death. Since osmosis is a process that requires no energy on the part of the cell and cannot be controlled, cells cannot stop plasmolysis from taking place.An example is if red blood cells are placed in strong salt solution plasmolysis occurs
