Answers
Answer:
When a living organisms losses water through osmosis from the cell wall. This phenomenon is called Plasmolysis.
Explanation:
Please mark as Barinlist.
Plasmolysis is the process by which a plant cell loses water when kept in hypertonic solution causing shrinkage in the cell.
We have not been given that this cell is a plant cell.We have come to know that it is a plant cell as ; in the question cell wall is used.And we know that only plants have cell wall , not animal cells.
Osmosis :
is the process by which water passes in or out of the cell . Note that water always passes from the region of higher concentration to lower concentration.
This process depends upon the type of solution.
There are 3 types of solutions.
In a hypertonic solution the solute is more in the inner region as compared to the outer side ; so the water moves outwards . This process is called exosmosis.
In plants this process has a special term called Plasmolysis.
In a Hypotonic solution the solute is more in the outer region as compared to inner side ; so water moves inwards causing the cell to swell. This process is called as endosmosis.
In plants due to the presence of cell wall , it won't burst .
But the cell may burst in case of animal cell.
In an Isotonic solution the solute concentration is equal in both the inner and outer regions so there would be no net movement of water.
