Question

explain what happens when a drop of concentrated sugar solution is placed on a rheo leaf peel mounted on a glass slid .name this process .would the same process happen if the rheo leaf is boiled before mounting ?

Answer 1

When concentrated sugar solution is placed on a rhoeo leaf, plasmolysis will take place because of exosmosis. The cell membrane would start shrinking. If the leaf is boiled first all the cells would already be dead hence no plasmolysis would be observed.
