Plasmolysis - The shrinkage of cell contents along with plasma membrane to one corner of the cell when the cell is placed in hypertonic solution.
Hypertonic solution - The solution where outside solution is more concentrated when compared to cell sap concentration.

Plasmolysis :-
When a living plant cell loses water through osmosis there is a shrinkage or contraction of the contents of the cell away from the cell wall. This phenomenon is known as plasmolysis.
Hypertonic solution:-
If the medium has a lower concentration of than the cell , meaning that it is a very concentrated solution , the cell will lose water by osmosis. Such a solution is known as hypertonic solution.
Again , water crosses the cell membrane in both directions , but this time more water leaves the cell than enters it . Therefore the cell will shrink.
hope this helps you....
