Differentiate between the following:
Plasmolysis and Deplasmolysis.
Solution
| Plasmolysis | Deplasmolysis | ||
| 1. | In this, the protoplasm of the cell shrinks away from the cell wall. It results in the flaccid condition of the cells and the plant. | 1. | In this, the protoplasm of the cell swells up and touches the cell wall. It results in the turgid condition of the cells and the plant. |
