Protoplasts are used as starting materials to transfer foreign genes into plants. Protoplast is usually isolated from a cell and inserted into the selected one in a process called protoplast fusion.

What are the functions of protoplast?

Protoplasts are plant or bacterial cells with the cell wall removed. They are commonly used in genetic engineering, plant breeding, and cell fusion experiments due to their ability to take up foreign DNA, enabling gene transfer and genetic modifications. Protoplast regeneration can also be used in plant transformation and micropropagation techniques.


What are the difference between protoplast and spheroplast?

The term protoplast refers to the spherical shape assumed by Gram-positive bacteria. Spheroplast refers to the spherical shape assumed by Gram-negative bacteria. The difference is essentially the presence of a single membrane, in the case of the protoplast, and the two membranes (inner and outer) of the Gram-negative spheroplasts. It is also possible to generate a gram-negative protoplast by the removal of the outer membrane. Thus, in essence, protoplast refers to a bacterial sphere that is bounded by a single membrane and spheroplast refers to a sphere that is bounded by two membranes


What is the connection of protoplast with cell?

liquid content of the cell


What is symplastic water movement?

Symplastic water movement is the movement of water through plant cells via the symplast, which includes the interconnected cytoplasm of neighboring cells through plasmodesmata. This pathway allows water to move from cell to cell within the plant without having to cross cell membranes.


What would happen to a plant cell if removed cell wall?

You could remove the cell wall by using a blender (crude i know, but it works) it basically cuts up the cell wall and releases all the organelles into the solution left over Then use ultra-centrifugation to separate the different organelles
