Best Answer

plasmolysis- is the separation of plant cell cytoplasm from the cell wall as a result of water loss.

cytolysis-the bursting or rupturing of cell membrane when the cell can no longer contain the excessive inflow of water (or extracellular fluid).

A change in concentration of solutes on either side of the membrane. Depending on the tonicity of the inner-membrane and the outside of the membrane, plasmolysis or cytolysis may occur.

What is the difference between lysis and plasmolysis?

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell. This is called lysis. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell (causing it to shrink). This is called plasmolysis.


What is it called when cells burst because of osmotic pressure?

Cytolysis or Osmotic-lysis


Why doesn't cytolysis happen in elodea?

Cytolysis does not happen in the elodea because of the concentration of its cells. The concentration that surrounds the cells are usually less concentrated and therefore prevent cytolysis from occurring.

What is cytolysis and what caused it?

Cytolysis is a condition where the cells will burst. This is commonly caused by excess water in the cell which results into osmotic imbalance.
