Heya!!!
Here's your answer!!!
When a living plant cell is placed in a solution of sugar or salt, water from the cell sap diffuses out through the cell membrane due to exosmosis.
The loss of water from the cell causes contraction or shrinkage of the protoplasm. At this stage, the cell is said to be in plasmolysed condition(necrosis) and the phenomenon is called as plasmolysis.
If the plasmolysed cell is placed in distilled water, endosmosis occurs and the cell regains it’s turgidity and also the original shape and size. This process is called reverese plasmolysis or deplasmolysis or cytolysis.
Hope it helps!!
