What are some of the practical applications of plasmolysis?

Answer 1

Definition: Shrinkage or contraction of the protoplasm away from the wall of a living plant or bacterial cell, caused by loss of water through osmosis. Example: If a plant cell is placed in a more concentrated salt (http://www.answers.com/topic/hypertonic) solution, it loses water and hence http://www.answers.com/topic/turgor-pressure-1 pressure, making it http://www.answers.com/topic/flaccid-2. Plants with cells in this condition wilt. Further water loss causes plasmolysis.

Answer 2

Big money is never easy. Everything requires a dergee of work Would you like to quit your day job?I moved to Italy many years ago on a corporate transfer and stayed on. A year ago I decided that I needed more. Seeing the inside of an office until the age of sixty-five wasn't enough.I wanted to do something I enjoyed. My dream was to build a website on my Italy that would offer only honest advice and personally vouched for recommendations. don't be fooled into anyone telling you otherwise.A web site is the only real way to make serious money online but did you realize 99% of small business sites fail. You have to ask yourself two questions:1)Are you ready to change your life?2) Are you ready to put in the work initially. If the answer is yes you can be very successful and make money online.

Answer 3

Plasmolysis only occurrs in extreme conditions and rarely happens in nature. It is induced in the lab by immersing cells in strong saline or sugar solutions to cause exosmosis, often using Elodea plants or onion epidermal cells, which have coloured cell sap so that the process is clearly visible.

Answer 4

The applications of plasmolysis include the good use of weeds for fertilizing any cop. Liquid seaweed fertilizer also contain growth factors such as cytokinin, kinetin, and gibbrallic acid.

Answer 5

Plasmolysis refers to the contraction of the protoplast of a plant cell due to the loss of water. This happens when the plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.

Answer 6

When the cell is in a hypertonic condition and water leaves the cell the plasma membrane can pull away from the cell wall.

Answer 7

One can determine the osmotic potential in a given plant cell by getting the solution in which incipient plasmolysis is obtained.

Answer 8

by killing it
