Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is when too much water moves out and the cell collapses.
A
cytolysis
B
plasmolysis
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ctyorrhysis – Permanent and irreversible collapse of the cell wall due to too much water being lost through plasmolysis. Protoplasm – The material comprising the inside of the cell; it is called protoplast when it separates from the cell wall through plasmolysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plasmolysis occurs when water moves out of the cell and the protoplasm of the plant shrinks away from its cell wall. This occurs when the cell is placed in hypertonic solution (solution having more concentration of solute than cytoplasm of the cell). Water is first lost from the cytoplasm and then from the vacuole.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plasmolysis is the process of shrinking of plasma membrane from the cell wall when the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. This happens due to exosmosis as water moves out of cell into the solution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plasmolysis is the process with the help of which water moves out of the cell which is termed exosmosis, resulting in shrinkage of the cell membrane. This process usually occurs in plant cells.
