How can plasmolysis be brought about?


Open in App
Solution

Plasmolysis:

  1. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution the protoplasm of the cell will shrink away from the cell wall, this is known as plasmolysis.
  2. Plasmolysis can be achieved by placing the cell in a saline solution which will be hypertonic in nature.
  3. This plasmolysis can be reversed by placing the cell again in normal water or in a hypotonic solution.
