What is the effect when you pour salt on a plant?
If the plant is not a salt water plant, then plasmolysis will occur when you pour salt on a plant.When you pour salt on a plant water molecules inside the cell are drawn out. When the water molecules leave the cell, the cell becomes dehydrates and shrinks. This is called plasmolysis.
