Can animal cells undergo plasmolysis?
Animal cells undergo lysis, and plant cells undergo plasmolysis. Lysis occurs when a plant cell explodes due to too much pressure on the inside, and plasmolysis occurs when the vacuole of a plant cell shrinks away from the cell wall due to lack of water.
Do plant cells have a cell wall instead of the plasma membrane?
Yes because the cell membrane is needed to regulate the flow of material in and out of the cell.Also, when the plant cell requires to undergo plasmolysis, the cell membrane enables the process, because it is not rigid.
What happen when a plant loses water?
When a plant cell loses water it will undergo a condition called plasmolysis. This condition only happens in the extreme condition and rarely happens in the natural conditions.
Does the Elodea plant cell change size when it has undergone plasmolysis?
no
What causes plasmolysis in plants?
Plasmolysis occurs when the cell(hypotonic) is kept in a hypertonic solution. If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure, making the plant cell flaccid. Plants with cells in this condition wilt. Further water loss causes plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cell wall and the membrane. Eventually cytorrhysis -- the complete collapse of the cell wall -- can occur.

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 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
Does the Elodea plant cell change size when it has undergone plasmolysis?
no
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.

What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
What is called the condition where a plant cell shrinks and moves or breaks away from the cell wall?
plasmolysis
What is the difference between cytolysis and plasmolysis?
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).
What is the contraction or shrinking of the cell membrane of a plant cell in a hypertonic solution in response to the loss of water by osmosis?
plasmolysis
