Plasmolysis cannot occur in animal cells because they lack a rigid cell wall, which is essential for this process. Plasmolysis involves the contraction of the cell membrane away from the cell wall due to loss of water in a hypertonic environment. In animal cells, instead of plasmolysis, the cell would shrink and potentially undergo crenation when placed in a hypertonic solution, as there is no cell wall to provide structural support.
