Detailed explanation-1: -What is Plasmolysis? Plasmolysis is defined as the process of contraction or shrinkage of the protoplasm of a plant cell and is caused due to the loss of water in the cell. Plasmolysis is an example of the results of osmosis and rarely occurs in nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -The opposite of plasmolysis is deplasmolysis where the cell swells up as a result of the inward flow of water molecules in the cell sap.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plasmolysis in a plant cell is defined as the process of shrinkage of the cytoplasm as a result of loss of water from the cell. It occurs when plant cells are placed in a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell does. In this, plant cell is kept in hypertonic solution.
