Condition that occurs if too much water leaves the cell and cell collapses.
A
Plasmolysis
B
Osmosis
C
Cytolysis
D
Exocytosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Severe water loss, which causes the cell wall to collapse, can result in cell death. The plasma membrane and protoplast of a cell detach from the cell wall when it suffers severe plasmolysis. Ctyorrhysis is the mechanism through which the cell wall collapses. The cell gets destroyed as a result of this.

Detailed explanation-2: -During plasmolysis, the organelles inside the cell shrink away from the cell wall, which results in severe water loss and leads to the collapse of the cell wall and finally results in cell death. Osmosis is primarily responsible for the occurrence of plasmolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plasmolysis is when plant cells lose water after being placed in a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell does. This is known as a hypertonic solution. Water flows out of the cells and into the surrounding fluid due to osmosis.
