Higher solute concentration outside the cell than that inside causes net loss of water and plasmolysis occurs. This is due to the diffusion of water to areas of higher solute concentration.

The tonicity of solution between cell wall and cell membrane in a plasmolysed cell?

In a plasmolyzed cell, the tonicity of the solution outside the cell is hypertonic compared to the cell's internal environment. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to the shrinkage of the cytoplasm and the detachment of the cell membrane from the cell wall. As a result, the cell experiences plasmolysis, where the cell membrane pulls away from the rigid cell wall due to the loss of turgor pressure.


Will the plasmolyzed cells return to normal condition if washed and again mounted?

Plasmolyzed cells may not return to their normal condition even after washing and remounting because plasmolysis typically occurs due to a loss of water in a hypertonic environment causing the cell membrane to shrink away from the cell wall. Rehydration may not reverse this process completely.

What happens if a plant becomes completely plasmolysised?

If a plant cell becomes completely plasmolyzed, it means that all of the water has been removed from the cell, causing the cell membrane to shrink away from the cell wall. This can lead to irreversible damage to the cell and ultimately result in the death of the plant cell.


How cell can become plasmolysed?

A cell becomes plasmolyzed when it loses water through osmosis due to exposure to a hypertonic solution, which has a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside. As water exits the cell to balance solute concentrations, the cell's cytoplasm shrinks, and the plasma membrane detaches from the cell wall in plant cells. This process can lead to wilting in plants and reduced cell function. Plasmolysis is reversible if the cell is placed back in an isotonic or hypotonic environment.


What happens to an onion cell when placed in vinegar?

When an onion cell is placed in vinegar, the cell membrane is broken down due to the acidic nature of vinegar. This causes the cell contents to leak out, resulting in the cell becoming plasmolyzed (shrinking away from the cell wall). Eventually, the cell may burst.


What happens when a fully turgid plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?

When a fully turgid plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink or become plasmolyzed. This is because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, creating an osmotic gradient that drives water out of the cell.


What happens if the sugar solution is more concentrated than the sap vacuole?

If the sugar solution is more concentrated than the sap vacuole, water will move out of the vacuole into the surrounding solution via osmosis. This can cause the plant cell to shrink and become plasmolyzed.

Which process causes the leaves of a plant to become larger?

The process that causes leaves to become larger is called cell division and elongation, which is driven by the plant hormone gibberellin. This hormone promotes cell growth and expansion in the leaves, leading to an increase in their size.
