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.
What else can I help you with?
What are the applications for francium?
No practical applications. Francium is used only for scientific studies.
What does plasmolysis explain?
Plasmolysis explains the process in plant cells where the cell membrane detaches from the cell wall due to water loss, leading to the shrinking of the cell contents. This occurs when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, causing water to move out of the cell.
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.
