प्रश्न
Mention whether the following statement is true (T) or false (F) and give explanation in support of your answer.
Plasmolysis is reverse of deplasmolysis.
विकल्प
True
False
उत्तर
True.
Plasmolysis occurs due to outflow of water from the cell when placed in hypertonic solution due to which the cytoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall. On the other hand, deplasmolysis is the result of the re-entry of water into the plasmolysed cell when placed in hypotonic solution due to which the protoplasm again swells up pressing tight against the cell wall.
