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.
Why does plasmolysis occur only in plant cells?
Plasmolysis occurs only in plant cells due to their rigid cell walls, which provide structural support and maintain cell shape. When plant cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, water exits the cell, causing the cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall. This process highlights the difference between plant and animal cells; animal cells lack a cell wall, so they would simply undergo cytolysis or shrinkage without the structural context provided by a rigid wall. Thus, plasmolysis is a phenomenon specifically associated with the unique characteristics of plant cell structure.
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.
When will a plant cell undergo plasmolysis?
as soon as it sprouts
Whats it called when a Celll has no water?
plasmolysis-dehydrated
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is plasmolysis
What does plasmolysis explain?

What does diffusion across the cell membrane cause?
A change in concentration of solutes on either side of the membrane. Depending on the tonicity of the inner-membrane and the outside of the membrane, plasmolysis or cytolysis may occur.
What cause cytolysis?
what cause cytolysis?
What is it called when cells burst because of osmotic pressure?
Cytolysis or Osmotic-lysis
What is the difference between plasmolysis and haemolysis pls its urgent i need it by the end of the week. thanks?
This is homework and Wiki won't help you cheat. Time to open the book, get the notes, and find the answer.
What is the difference between lysis and plasmolysis?
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell. This is called lysis. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell (causing it to shrink). This is called plasmolysis.
Why doesn't cytolysis happen in elodea?
Cytolysis does not happen in the elodea because of the concentration of its cells. The concentration that surrounds the cells are usually less concentrated and therefore prevent cytolysis from occurring.
What is cytolysis and what caused it?
Cytolysis is a condition where the cells will burst. This is commonly caused by excess water in the cell which results into osmotic imbalance.
What is the bursting of the cell called?
Cytolysis
Difference between plasmolysis and plasmoptysis?
Plasmolysis is the process where a plant cell loses water and shrinks away from the cell wall due to osmotic water loss. Plasmoptysis, on the other hand, is the bursting of a plant cell due to excessive water uptake, often occurring when the cell wall cannot withstand the internal pressure.
What happens to the volume of the cytoplasm during plasmolysis?
The volume of cytoplasm reduces during plasmolysis
