What do you mean by plasmolysis and asmosis

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,

The shrinkage or contraction of the living plant cell's contents away from the cell wall due to water loss by the osmosis process is called plasmolysis.

The diffusion of water or solvent takes place from the solution of lower concentration to the solution of higher concentration when a semipermeable membrane separates two solutions with different concentration, is called osmosis.

Regards,
