A plasmolysis solution is the opposite of a hypotonic solution because in a plasmolysis solution the cell will shrink due to the little amount of water outside the cell and the greater amount of water inside the cell. A plasmolysis solution only occurs in plant cells.

What is it called when a red blood cell bursts from a hypotonic solution?
When cell is placed in a hypertonic solution water moves out, first from cytoplasm and then from vacuole. Cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall. This is known as plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is when a protoplast of a plant cell starts to shrink due to water loss from the cell. This causes gaps between the cell wall and cell membrane.
Are desert regions shrinking?
Many, if not all, desert areas are growing rather than shrinking through a process called desertification.
Why do onion cell plasmolyze?
it is the contraction or shrinking of the cell membrane of a plant cell in a hypertonic solution in responce to the loss of water by osmosis
If a cell is dropped in any solution and the cell does not change size by either shrinking or swelling what is the solution?
isotonic
What is it called when a host cell bursts?
The bursting of a host cell is called cell lysis.
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is plasmolysis
What is the shrinking of plant cells called when water leaves so the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall?
plasmolysis
What is the shrinking of plant cells when water leaves the cell membrane?
It is called plasmolysis. The cytoplasm and vacuole shrink but cell wall remains the same.
What do you call the shrinking of an animal cell?
plasmolysis
What is the shrinking of a cell due to loss of water?
Osmosis, or diffusion of water across a membrane, is the process that's happening when a cell's cytoplasm shrinks due to water loss. The process by which a plant cell's cytoplasm shrinks due to water loss is called plasmolysis
What is shrinking of a red blood cell due to water loss?
Crenation
