Question

When a cell is plasmolysed, it becomes

• A. Flaccid and its TP becomes 0
• B. Turgid and its TP becomes equal to OP
• C. Flaccid and its DPD becomes 0
• D. Turgid and its TP becomes 0

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Flaccid and its TP becomes 0

In plasmolysis, much of the water goes out of the cell. Hence, the pressure potential or the turgor pressure (TP) becomes zero, and the osmotic concentration of the cell interior is equal to that of the external solution, making the cell flaccid.
