Plasmolysis refers to the contraction of the protoplast of a plant cell as a result of loss of water from the cell. The plasma membrane moves away from the cell wall due to loss of water through osmosis. Osmosis on its part, is the movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential through selectively permeable membrane.
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.
Plant cells are selected to demonstrate plasmolysis because they have a cell wall that maintains the structure of the cell even when the cell membrane shrinks due to water loss. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, so they would burst instead of undergoing plasmolysis in a hypertonic solution.
Salt draws water from plant cells. This causes the cells to dehydrate and the plant to shrivel up and die.
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.
If the plant cells were placed in water with very little salt, they would undergo a process known as plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cell membrane away from the cell wall due to water loss. This occurs because the water concentration outside the cells is higher than inside, causing water to move out of the cells, leading to wilting and potential cell damage.

i don't know plss help me because i need it to may lab activity the submission is tomorrow...:(
plasmolysis
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is plasmolysis
Plasmolysis describes the condition of plant cells after being placed in distilled water. In plasmolysis, water exits the cell by osmosis, causing the cell membrane to detach from the cell wall. This results in the cell shrinking and the cytoplasm pulling away from the cell wall.
Hypertonic solutions are solutions that have a higher concentration than that of its immediate environment. The effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells is crenation in animal cells and plasmolysis in plant cells.
It is called plasmolysis. The cytoplasm and vacuole shrink but cell wall remains the same.
